Violates homogeneity of variance. Welch statistic and associated P value reported.
Post hoc analyses between the 3 groups for significant outcome variables were significant for all groups except: •Q-LES-Q: No SI and mild SI were not significantly different •ASQ intensity: Mild SI and moderate to severe SI demonstrated a trend toward significance (P = .075) •ASQ frequency: Mild SI and moderate to severe SI demonstrated a trend toward significance (P = .05) •BAI: Moderate to severe SI and mild SI were not significantly different.
Post hoc could not be performed due to cell size.
ANOVA: analysis of variance; ASQ: Anxiety Symptom Questionnaire; BAI: Beck Anxiety Inventory; BDI: Beck Depression Inventory; BHS: Beck Hopelessness Scale; CPFQ: The Massachusetts General Hospital Cognitive and Physical Functioning Questionnaire; GPA: grade point average; Q-LES-Q: Quality of Life Enjoyment and Satisfaction Questionnaire–Short Form; SD: standard deviation; SI: suicidal ideation.
