Note. Odds ratios for each variable are adjusted for all other variables in the model. Odds ratios for continuous independent variables denote change in the odds of screening per unit change in the independent variable.

^aAge is a continuous variable, assessed in years.

^bEducation level range is 0 (no education or kindergarten only) to 6 (> bachelor’s degree).

^cFamily income range is 0 (< $1000) to 26 (≥ $50 000).

^dSource of health care range is 1 (none) to 5 (physician’s office), with higher scores denoting greater quality of care.

^eExtent of last physical examination range is 9–18.
