The trauma checklist items were broader than the behavioral questions, explicitly worded using the terms abuse and assault. Adapted from the National Comorbidity Survey trauma checklist (Kessler, Sonnega, Bromet, Hughes, & Nelson, 1995), traumatic events (including physical abuse and physical assault) were included in the respondent booklets sent to participants before interview. Brief definitions of events were given in parentheses (see Table 1) but not read to respondents. Participants referred to this list as the interviewer read, “Did event [number] ever happen to you?” Age at first occurrence was queried for those events that were endorsed. For this study, CPA criteria were met if the respondent reported age of CPA was 13 or below for any of the criteria (to be consistent with the age cutoff in the behavioral questions). In the MOAFTS sample, trauma questions were queried prior to behavioral questions; in the MOFAM sample, behavioral questions were queried prior to trauma items.
