In general, education was inversely associated with causing/witnessing bodily harm, experiencing interpersonal violence, having accidents/injuries and the unexpected death of a loved one, but positively associated with exposure to collective violence and being mugged. Automobile accidents deviated from the aggregate results for injuries/accidents, in that education was positively associated with automobile accidents (OR = 1.1). Sexual violence was not associated with education in the aggregate, as the individual events within this factor had opposing odds, i.e. education was inversely associated with being raped, beaten up by a spouse or romantic partner, or stalked (ORs = 0.4–0.8), but positively associated with sexual assault, a private or other TE, or a TE to a loved one (ORs = 1.2–1.7).
