^aRated on seven-point Likert scale from 1 (not at all) to 7 (a great deal)

^bRated on seven-point Likert scale from 1 (strongly disagree) to 7 (strongly agree)

^cCompared to those with “no” response

^dCompared to those without a positive family history of cancer

^eCompared to non-White

^fCompared to those not married/living as married

^gCompared to college degree or higher

^hInterpretation score was average of four seven-point Likert scale items scored from 1 (strongly disagree) to 7 (strongly agree). Lower scores reflected greater genetic determinism.
