Variable distributions were examined, revealing that the suicide ideation variable evidenced substantial positive skew and kurtosis (skewness = 3.83; kurtosis = 16.87). These scores underwent a log transformation that resulted in acceptable levels of skew (1.38) and kurtosis (1.22; Kline,2005). For ease of presentation and interpretation, the original mean and standard deviation of the suicidal ideation variable (i.e., prior to transformation) are presented in tables and text. However, all analyses utilized the transformed scores.
