Having problems with CFIF Input using listcontains

I have a form which grabs the MASTER data dynamically from this query and displays it as check boxes on a form:
<cfquery name="getSCMaster" datasource="csf">
SELECT     checklistID, category, criteria, scholarshipName
FROM         dbo.tblScholarshipChecklist
WHERE            checklistID <> 1
</cfquery>

I then have a query which grabs data from another table.  The "shared" field is checklistID:
<cfquery name="getSCApp" datasource="csf">
SELECT     applicantChecklistID, applicationID, checklistID
FROM         dbo.tblApplicantChecklist
WHERE     (applicationID = <cfqueryparam cfsqltype="CF_SQL_INTEGER" value="#getAppInfo.applicationID#">) AND checklistID <> 1
</cfquery>

These two tables can't be joined because I need the page to display ALL of the data from the MASTER table, and check the checklistID check box ONLY where the data from the 2nd query is valid.  

I have created a list from the 2nd query and it outputs the data correctly.  
<cfset checklistIDlist = ValueList(getSCApp.checklistID)>
<cfloop list="#checklistIDlist#" index="i">
   <cfoutput>#i# </cfoutput>
</cfloop>
For example, it would output 10 12 15.

This is where the problem starts.  The form is displaying ALL of the numbers in the list returned.  For example, if the list returns 10 12 15, it checks the following checkboxes:
2 5 10 12 15. It's not separating the list correctly and looks for any number within the list and checks that check box.  

This is the input field in my form:
<input name="checklistID" <cfif listContains("#checklistIDlist#", #getSCMaster.checklistID#)>checked="checked"</cfif> type="checkbox" id="checklistID" value="#checklistID#" />

Do I need to add a delimiter to the list somehow or do I need to loop through the list?  Help!  This is driving me crazy!!!  

Thank you!
