  • Corr = correlation; Form = PCPCM correlation with whether the patient reported it was hard to complete the survey; MD Results = PCPCM correlation with patient report of whether the doctor knowing the results would improve their care; PEI–Cor = PCPCM correlation with score on the Patient Enablement Index; PCPCM = Person-Centered Primary Care Measure; Yrs MD = PCPCM correlation with number of years the patient had been with the physician; Yrs Pract = PCPCM correlation with number of years the patient had been with the practice.

  • Note: The Spanish and Portuguese translations were used with either European or Latin American versions, as appropriate to the country.

  • a Significant sex differences, P values range from Turkey (<.0001) to Austria (0.034).

  • b Bonferroni adjustment for multiple testing requires P <0.009 for associations to be significant within country.
