Only trauma‐exposed EA individuals (N = 912) were included in this study. Trauma exposure was defined using the Semi‐Structured Assessment for the Genetics of Alcoholism (SSAGA‐IV) interview, which includes questions concerning potentially traumatic life events (Bucholz et al. 1994). Three types of traumatic exposures were considered (nonsexual assaultive, nonassaultive, sexual assaultive trauma), which were lifetime binary variables. Nonsexual assaultive trauma included being shot, stabbed, mugged, or threatened with a weapon, kidnapped, or held captive and/or tortured. Nonassaultive trauma included experiencing a life‐threatening accident, experiencing a natural disaster, or unexpectedly discovering a dead body. Sexual assaultive trauma was defined as being raped or sexually assaulted. Descriptive statistics are displayed in Table 1.
