3-step Bolck-Croon-Hagenaars (BCH) method was used to compare the identified latent classes. In the cases of comparisons, means (standard errors in parenthesis) in the same row that do not share superscripts differ at P < .05 level. Each validating variable was standardized such that their means were equal to 0 and standard deviations equal to 1.
