	Beta (standardized)
Control variables (5)
Age	−.020
Race (1=African American; 0=Caucasian)	−.023
Education	−.011
Early or late stage (1=late stage)	−.109^*
Healthcare Participation (pretest)	.543^***

Main effect: CHESS use^a(2)
Didactic service¹	.104^*
Narrative service¹	.123^**
R² Change (%)	1.6^*

Note:

Main effects of CHESS use were entered separately to the regression model in order to avoid multi-collinearity problems.

Log transformed due to the positive skewness of the distribution.
