Association between CPM satisfaction and survey scales

Measure	Possible range	N	Mean (SD)	Correlation with CPM satisfaction^a
Decision-conflict scale	1–5 (Higher score → Greater conflict)	265	1.4 (0.6)	0.48
LOT-R optimism scale	1–24 (Higher score → Greater optimism)	258	18.5 (4.8)	0.21^b
Trait anxiety	20–80 (Higher score → Greater anxiety)	266	32.1 (8.5)	0.27
Health concern score	0–100 (Higher score → Greater concern)	262	55.8 (25.4)	0.15
Health distress score	0–100 (Higher score → Greater distress)	264	14.1 (17.0)	0.21
Overall quality of life	0 (As bad as it can be) – 10 (As good as it can be)	264	8.7 (1.5)	0.37^b
Body image scale	0–30 (Higher score → Greater symptoms/distress)	258	5.0 (5.5)	0.48

Satisfaction measured on a 1 (very satisfied) to 5 (very dissatisfied) scale; all P values ≤0.02

Original scales for LOT-R optimism and overall quality of life were reversed when estimating correlation coefficients to be consistent with all other measures in that higher values represent a poorer aspect and are thus positively correlated with poorer satisfaction scores
