2.3.1 |. Sociodemographic and clinical factors

Sociodemographic factors included age, race, country of birth, years in the United States, education, marital status, income, and insurance status. We measured health literacy with a 5-point Likert scale item that assessed womens’ confidence in their ability to fill out medical forms on their own (Moran et al., 2016). Participants were categorized as having low health literacy if they reported feeling not at all/kind of comfortable and they were categorized as having high health literacy if they reported feeling pretty/really/extremely confident. Clinical factors included personal and family history of breast or ovarian cancer diagnosis (Yes/No).
