^aModel fit statistics for lung cancer worry are F = 17.24, p < 0.001, and R² = 0.24.

^bModel fit statistics for perceived lung cancer risk are F = 24.95, p < 0.001, and R² = 0.31.

^cModel fit statistics for perceived synergistic risk are F = 5.52, p < 0.001, and R² = 0.09.

SE—standard error of β; Std. β—standardized beta

Note. Only homeowners with complete data on all variables were included in the models.
