^†Health information from media sources. Interest in health information scales range from 1 to 5 with higher scores reflecting higher use.

^§Self-efficacy ranges from 1 to 9 with higher scores reflecting higher information seeking self-efficacy.

^‡Acculturation ranges from 1 to 5 with higher scores reflecting higher language acculturation.

The Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness of fit test for the two logistic regression models showed good fit (p=0.84 and 0.37, respectively).
