Note: Prob. = conditional probability of engagement in this behavior or belonging in this group, given latent class membership; NSSI = nonsuicidal self-injury. χ2 represent Wald Chi-Square values for overall tests of association. A single test was conducted to compare probabilities for all three gender groups (female, male, gender minority) across three classes. Superscript letters denote column proportions differ from each other at the p < .05 level. Total n = 253.
