High risk cut points were: >=.5 for loneliness, <4 for social acceptance, <=4 for perceived parental support, and 1 (ever having experienced) for loneliness and loss.

High risk cut points do not result in exact quartiles for the continuous variables due to large numbers of participants falling at the quartile-dividing scores.
