q3 · i? · associational · r3

Interactions between gender and each ACE operationalisation were tested in the mixed effects models of the MCS cohort. The article states "We did not find any gender differences in associations between any of our ACE operationalisations and outcomes" and presents combined results. No effect sizes were printed for the interaction tests.

"none of the gender*ACE interactions were significant suggesting that in this sample the associations were similar for girls and boys"
