Logistic regression analyses predicting physical examination and BSE at follow-up with cancer-related information seeking from nonmedical and medical sources.

Sources of cancer-related information seeking Physical Examination (Two or more visits in the past 12 months)
Unadjusted OR 95% CI Adjusted OR 95% CI
Nonmedical 1.43 1.00 – 2.05 1.15 0.67 – 1.97
Medical 1.56 0.97 – 2.51 1.02 0.50 – 2.10
BSE (Five or more times in the past 12 months)
Unadjusted OR 95% CI Adjusted OR 95% CI

Nonmedical 1.63 1.22 – 2.16 1.52 1.01 – 2.29
Medical 1.58 1.08 – 2.32 0.98 0.58 – 1.66

Notes. OR = Odds ratio; 95% CI = 95% confidence interval. Adjusted ORs controlled for baseline confounder variables (age, education, ethnicity, marital status, concern about recurrence, cancer stage, health status, surgery, radiation therapy, systemic therapy, following doctors’ recommendations for tests, and Lerman Cancer Worry scale).
