For post hoc analyses, high-risk (N=27, were those with the short/short genotype, low social support, and high hurricane exposure) group vs. low-risk (N=498, were all others) group: odds ratio=20.1, 95% CI=1.4-296.6, P-value=0.03; high-risk group vs. medium risk (N=54, were those with the long/short genotype, low social support, and high hurricane exposure) group: odds ratio=5.0, 95% CI=0.8-30.8, P-value=0.09; medium-risk group vs. low-risk group:odds ratio=4.1, 95% CI=0.6-26.3, P-value=0.14.

The two-way interaction terms for genotype by hurricane exposure and for genotype by social support were not significant for PTSD. The three-way-interaction term for 5-HTTLPR genotype, social support, and hurricane exposure was significant in the adjusted logistic regression model for posthurricane PTSD diagnosis. For post hoc analyses, adults in the high-risk group were significantly more likely to have posthurricane PTSD than those in the low-risk group. The high-risk group showed a tendency toward being more likely to develop PTSD than the medium-risk group. The medium-risk group was not significantly more likely to have PTSD than the low-risk group. Secondary analyses were conducted with European Americans only (N=530). The results paralleled those for the entire cohort. The three-way interaction term for 5-HTTLPR genotype, social support, and hurricane exposure showed a strong tendency for PTSD diagnosis. More...
