^a Level of cancer worry was measured by the Spanish version of the CWS (2), made up of 6 questions with 4 response options (1 = not at all or rarely; 2 = sometimes; 3 = often; 4 = almost all the time), such that each individual attains a score ranging from 6 (minimum worry) to 24 (maximum worry).

^b Through simple random sampling, participants residing in 8 basic health areas in the Province of Albacete in southwest Spain were selected on the basis of health card data, which reflect all people entitled to health care under Spain’s National Health System.
