Table 3. Significant predictors of failure to return the FIT kit (13.3%).

	Univariate, Unadjusted			Multivariable, Adjusted
Predictor	OR	95% CI	p-value	OR	95% CI	p-value
Greater residential distance from cancer center (miles) (vs. less residential distance from cancer center)	1.03	1.01-1.05	.006	1.03	1.01-1.05	.015
Lower health literacy (vs. higher)	1.18	1.06-1.33	.003
Lower awareness score (vs. higher)	1.19	1.04-1.37	.014
Higher religious beliefs score (vs. lower)	1.08	1.02-1.15	.012	1.09	1.02-1.16	.015
No prior CRC screening (vs. prior CRC screening)	2.33	1.00-5.44	.050
Employment status
Unable to work	1.00		.003	1.00		.010
Employed	0.38	0.18-0.80		0.49	0.23-1.08
Not employed	0.14	0.05-0.45		0.15	0.05-0.46
Retired	0.36	0.13-1.00		0.45	0.16-1.26

Note: OR = odds ratio; CI = confidence interval; CRC = colorectal cancer.

Health literacy, awareness, religious beliefs, and residential distance from cancer center in miles were each continuous variables, whereas prior colorectal cancer screening and employment status were categorical variables.

Significant univariate predictors were further assessed using multivariable logistic regression.

Adjusted models included the following variables as potential confounds: gender, racial heritage, education, employment status, annual physical exam, prior CRC screening, residential distance from cancer center, health literacy, and salience and coherence.

Non-significant univariate analyses results not shown.
