AIC: Akaike information criterion; IDI: integrated discrimination improvement; NRI: net reclassification improvement. Sex was not included as a predictor in the breast models. Model A1: Basic dataset with individual-level predictors only. Model A2: Integrated dataset with individual- and contextual-level predictors. Model A3: Integrated dataset with individual- and contextual-level predictors, and cross-level interactions.

Note: Values in parentheses are lower and upper bounds of 95% confidence intervals.
