Posttraumatic stress symptoms For PCL-C scores, in the unadjusted analyses, the complete model showed a significant difference between servicewomen with and without dependent children in PCL-C change from pre- to post-deployment, F(1, 101) = 3.95, p = 0.05. After adjusting for service, rank and age this difference was no longer statistically significant. While the increase in PCL-C scores between pre- and post-deployment was marginally significant for service mothers, there was no significant change for other servicewomen (see Table 8).
