We examined predictors of TE exposure for each of the 29 TEs both separately and pooled across the five factors. Only the pooled models plus models for the three individual cross-loading TEs are shown in Table 4, although we comment briefly on TE-specific deviations from these aggregate results. Females were more likely than males to be exposed to intimate partner/sexual violence (OR = 2.3) and to the unexpected death of a loved one (OR = 1.1), with the latter a small but statistically reliable effect. On the other hand, females were less likely than males to be exposed to TEs from the other four factors (ORs = 0.4–0.8). Two specific events deviated from these aggregate results: females had greater odds of being a refugee and of having a child with a serious illness. Being a civilian in a war zone, having a life-threatening illness and experiencing a self-nominated other TE had no association with gender.
