a
Odds ratios are adjusted for other covariates in the model—age, marital status, ethnicity, educational status, income, general health status, having a regular source of care before diagnosis, and having any health insurance before diagnosis.
b
An odds ratio >1 indicates increased likelihood of self-detection.
