*Binary logistic regression.

†Cases representing 3.8% of the population were excluded from the final model because of missing values.

‡Weighted to the entire Canadian Regular Force in service in September 2012. To protect the identity of respondents, Statistics Canada permits the release only of weighted cell counts, which must be rounded to the nearest 20. We calculated prevalence rates using these rounded cell counts.

§Except where noted otherwise.

¶Adjusted for age group, marital status, region, rank category, element, deployment history and number of lifetime nonsexual traumatic events.

**Not included in final model owing to the lack of an unadjusted association with the outcome.
