  1. SD ,  Standard deviation; Min , Minimum; Max , Maximum. Family income was coded as an ordinal variable, with higher values indicating higher income brackets (e.g., 1 = Less than $5,000; 20 = $95,000 or more). For reference, a score of 7 corresponds to $30,001–$35,000 and 8 to $35,001–$40,000. The mean income score was 7.23, suggesting an average income range between approximately $30,001 and $40,000. Parent education level was also coded ordinally, reflecting years of schooling (e.g., 1 = 1st grade; 16 = 4 + years of college, BA/BS degree).
