Note. Bold indicates significant difference.

^aOnly those with any SDV during DBT included in this analysis (n=23). Severity rated by interview between 1 “very low” severity and 6 “severe.”

^bFor ease of comparison given different item counts in challenging behavior subscale scores, analysis was conducted on z-scored subscale scores.

^cFactor 3 was not included in the highest severity of SDV during DBT because it included the same construct.

^dBecause of outliers and skew, frequency of out of session coaching was log-transformed.
