Final Multivariable Model-Adjusted Predictors Concerns about Abuses of Genetic Testing for Cancer Risk

Characteristic	β Coefficient/parameter estimate (SE)	p value
Acculturation level^a	−1.01 (0.94)	0.29
Medical mistrust^a	0.19 (0.05)	0.0002^*
Age	0.06 (0.03)	0.06^*
Employment (not working vs. currently working)	1.73 (1.06)	0.11
Education (≤high school vs. >high school)	0.80 (1.00)	0.42
Insurance status (insured vs. non-insured)	0.21 (1.12)	0.86
Family history of cancer (no vs. yes)	−0.40 (0.94)	0.67

Significance level p≤0.10. n=81; R² =0.33. Final model variables significant from forward selection procedure (acculturation level, medical mistrust, age and employment) plus confounders (none) and any theoretically relevant covariates (education, insurance status, and family history of cancer)

Where variable is linear and a higher score indicates more of the given variable
