Logistic Regression Analysis of Relationship Between Personal and Family History of Cancer and Beliefs About Cancer Prevention

	Personal Cancer Hx^a		Family Cancer Hx ^a		Personal x Family Hx
	OR	95% CI	OR	95% CI	OR	95% CI
“Everything Causes Cancer”	2.24	1.24 – 4.06^**	2.04	1.38 – 3.02^***	0.64	0.46 – 0.90^*
“Not Much Can Do To Prevent Cancer”	1.09	0.91 – 1.30	0.95	0.84 – 1.07
“Too Many Recommendations…”	1.14	0.95 – 1.37	1.16	1.03 – 1.30^*

Note. Note. Responses for each cancer prevention belief coded as 1 = “strongly agree” or “somewhat agree”; 0= “somewhat disagree” or “strongly disagree” or “no opinion.” All analyses control for age, gender, and education as covariates.

coded as 1 = no; 2 = yes;

final logistic regression model includes personal history x family history interaction term only if interaction term is significant
