Note: ^ap < 0.001; ^bp < 0.05; ^cp < 0.01.

Data are unstandardized beta coefficients with standard errors in parentheses.

Race: 0 = white, 1 = nonwhite.

Cancer stage: 0 = early stage, 1 = late stage.

Higher scores represent more/greater age, years of education, social support, neuroticism, hostility, and religiosity, better overall physical and mental health, more depression, more life satisfaction, and greater use of coping with God and anger at God.
