  1. Note: In the first three columns (contrast: before and after diagnosis), the effects of D3 and M3 describe a change in perceived risk after prognosis when compared to before. In the last three columns (contrast: Observational Group), levels in perceived risk of D3 and M3 are compared to the Observational Group after prognosis; * p < .05; ** p < .005.
