Lifetime history of 21 potentially traumatic events (DSM-IV Criterion A) were based on cSSAGA-A baseline assessments. Although the SSAGA or cSSAGA-A was given at all assessment timepoints, participants were asked to report lifetime maximum DSM-5 AUD symptom count (AUDsx; range 0–11) and, for those who endorsed a Criterion A event, lifetime maximum DSM-IV PTSD Criterion B-D symptom count scores (PTSDsx; range 0–20) at each wave. Therefore, in this study we used lifetime symptom counts ascertained at follow-up 3 (Mage = 22) to allow sufficient opportunity for AUDsx to present in late adolescence/young adulthood. Based on evidence that interpersonal assaultive events are more ‘potent’ than non-assaultive events, that traumatic events cluster together, and to remain consistent with prior studies (Meyers et al., 2019b; Subbie-Saenz de Viteri et al., 2020), we constructed three non-mutually exclusive variables representing report of (1) one or more childhood physical assaultive traumas (CPAT; stabbed, shot, mugged, threatened with a weapon, robbed, kidnapped, held captive), (2) childhood sexual assaultive traumas (CSAT; rape or molestation), and (3) childhood non-assaultive traumas (CNAT; life-threatening accident, disaster, witnessing someone seriously injured or
