ORs from multivariable logistic regression; ORs of >1 corresponding to increased odds of having clinically significant anxiety present.
Percentages are row percentages. Frequency counts do not sum to column totals because of missing data as follows: ethnicity (anxiety absent, n = 1); monthly household income (anxiety present, n = 5; anxiety absent, n = 9); family finances at end of month (anxiety present, n = 3; anxiety absent, n = 7); satisfaction with family finances (anxiety present, n = 2; anxiety absent, n = 3); social support score (anxiety absent, n = 1); chemotherapy status at study consent (anxiety present, n = 2); and medical mistrust score (anxiety absent, n = 1).
Only 7 of 64 participants with “just enough” or “not enough money left over” at the end of the month were completely/very satisfied with their family finances. Because of this overlap, “satisfaction with family finances” was included in the multivariable model, whereas “family finances at end of the month” was not included in the model.
