From: Is a prostate cancer screening anxiety measure invariant across two different samples of age-appropriate men?

	Means (SD)			Correlation Coefficients*
	Total	Public Clinic	Private Clinic	Total		Public Clinic		Private Clinic
	Total	Public Clinic	Private Clinic	DRE	PCS-D	DRE	PCS-D	DRE	PCS-D
PCS anxiety total scale	20.15 (23.43)	23.95 (26.99)	18.25 (21.35)	---	---	---	---	---	---
PSA anxiety subscale	17.62 (26.41)	18.65 (27.61)	17.11 (25.83)	.517	.682	.525	.790	.513	.618
DRE anxiety subscale	26.88 (29.85)	30.31 (33.21)	25.28 (27.97)	---	.642	---	.680	---	.611
PCS-D anxiety subscale	15.95 (25.27)	22.13 (30.75)	12.84 (21.38)	---	---	---	---	---	---

^*All Pearson correlation coefficients were significant at p ≤ 0.01 (1–tailed).
Note. SD =standard deviation, PCS = prostate cancer screening, PSA = prostate–specific antigen test, DRE = digital rectal examination, PCS-D = prostate cancer screening decision.
