SEM for HBM applied to anticipated presentation with potential ovarian cancer symptoms for all participants. Legend: The SEM investigates whether the HBM variables of individual perceptions (perceived susceptibility and worry), modifying factors (age, knowledge, confidence), perceived threat, cues to action (personal experience) and likelihood of action (perceived benefits minus barriers) predicted the behavioural outcome of anticipated presentation for all participants. Values displayed are standardised regression weights (→), covariances (↔) and percentage of variance accounted for. Squares represent observed variables, and circles represent unobserved variables. ns = not statistically different.*p < .05. **p < .01, ***p < .001. (SEM = structural equation model, HBM = health belief model)
