Figure 5.
Model of the cross-lagged relations among understanding of risk, derogation of risk information, and personal applicability of behavioral recommendations immediately following and one month after genetic counseling plus test reporting (p16 carriers) or counseling based on family history alone (no-test controls).
Note: Correlations among measures within visits were included in the model, but omitted from the figure for ease of presentation. All but one such association were significant at p<.05: understanding of risk information and perceived applicability of prevention recommendations were not significantly correlated at one month. Significant pathways are indicated by solid lines and nonsignificant pathways are indicated by dashed lines. Path coefficients are unstandardized beta coefficients with standard errors in parentheses.
