Cutoff Scores for Determining Scores in the Favorable-to-Screening or Unfavorable-to-Screening Direction on the Psychological or Knowledge/Health Belief Factors (Draucker et al., 2019).

Characteristics Measures and Cutoff Scores
Psychological factors: favorable to screening Participants who meet cut-off scores on 3 of the following 5 scales:

  1. Low stigma: Cataldo Lung Cancer Stigma Smoking Subscale < 10 (Cataldo et al., 2011)

  2. Low mistrust: Patient Trust in the Medical Profession Scale < 17 (Dugan et al., 2005)

  3. Low fatalism: Revised Powe Fatalism Inventory <5 (Mayo et al., 2001)

  4. Low worry: Lung Cancer Worry Scale <6 (Hay et al., 2005)

  5. Low fear: Lung Cancer Fear Scale < 16 (adapted from Champion et al., 2004)
Psychological factors: unfavorable to screening Participants who meet cutoff scores on 3 of the following 5 scales:

  1. High stigma: Cataldo Lung Cancer Stigma Smoking Subscale >11 (Cataldo et al., 2011)

  2. High mistrust: Patient Trust in the Medical Profession Scale > 18 (Dugan et al., 2005)

  3. High fatalism: Revised Powe Fatalism Inventory >6 (Mayo et al., 2001)

  4. High worry: Lung Cancer Worry Scale >7 (Hay et al., 2005)

  5. High fear: Lung Cancer Fear Scale > 17 (adapted from Champion et al., 2004)
Knowledge/health belief factors: favorable to screening Participants who meet cutoff scores on 3 of the following 5 scales:

  1. High knowledge: Knowledge: Lung Cancer and Lung Cancer Screening Scale >4*

  2. High risk: Perceived Risk of Lung Cancer Scale > 13 (Carter-Harris et al., 2017)

  3. High benefits: Perceived Benefits of Lung Cancer Screening Scale > 13 (Carter-Harris et al., 2017)

  4. Low barriers: Perceived Barriers to Lung Cancer Screening Scale <34 (Carter-Harris et al., 2017)

  5. High self-efficacy: Self-Efficacy for Lung Cancer Screening Scale > 19 (Carter-Harris et al., 2017)
Knowledge/health belief factors: unfavorable to screening Participants who meet cutoff scores on 3 of the following 5 scales:

  1. Low knowledge: Knowledge: Lung Cancer and Lung Cancer Screening Scale <3*

  2. Low risk: Perceived Risk of Lung Cancer Scale <12 (Carter-Harris et al., 2017)

  3. Low benefits: Perceived Benefits of Lung Cancer Screening Scale < 12 (Carter-Harris et al., 2017)

  4. High barriers: Perceived Barriers to Lung Cancer Screening Scale >35 (Carter-Harris et al., 2017)

  5. Low self-efficacy: Self-Efficacy for Lung Cancer Screening Scale <18 (Carter-Harris et al., 2017)
