Note. T1 variables were standardized using z-scores (M = 0, SD = 1), whereas T2 variables were standardized to the T1 mean and standard deviation to adequately represent change across time. Change scores were obtained for descriptive purposes by subtracting standardized scores for T1 from standardized T2 scores. Means in the same row that do not share subscripts differ at p < .01. Means in bold are at least 0.25 SD above or below the overall sample mean. T = Time.

N = 3624 for sociodemographic variables. N = 3545 for biopsychosocial correlates.
