CRC Worry 0.08 0.33*

Note. CRC = Colorectal Cancer. Results indicate Pearson’s r correlation value and significance. Colorectal Cancer Worry was not assessed for Urban Primary Care.

Cognitive Causation is based on the 7-item version. The 10-item correlation results for Urban Primary Care are even smaller with 0.26 for verbal likelihood, 0.17 for percent likelihood, and 0.18 for feelings of risk; none were significant.
