Married respondents had reduced odds, compared with the never married, of all TE factors (ORs = 0.5–0.9) except accidents/injuries (OR = 1.0). Two specific TEs deviated from these aggregate results: married respondents had greater odds of being beaten up by a spouse or romantic partner (OR = 1.7) and of having a child with a serious illness (OR = 2.4). Previously married respondents, in comparison with those never married, had lower odds of exposure to collective violence and causing/witnessing bodily harm (OR = 0.8–0.9), but elevated odds of unexpected death of a loved one (OR = 1.2), interpersonal violence (OR = 1.4) and sexual violence (OR = 1.3). Importantly, these associations are based on models that adjust for age of occurrence, such that the high odds of exposure among the never married are not due to age effects.
