Figure 1. Associations between evening cortisol and same-day stress by maternal child abuse group. Brackets indicate results from post hoc paired group comparisons of child abuse groups. Hierarchical linear models controlled for time of sampling, gestational age at assessment, maternal income and gravida. +p < 0.10; *p < 0.05; ns = not significant.
