Patient perspectives on medical imaging radiation (MIR) use is understudied, but could guide primary care discussions. This study examines prevalence of worry about the health harms from MIR in the US general population. Methods: This cross-sectional study used the 2012-2013 Health Information National Trends Survey conducted by the National Cancer Institute. A nationally representative sample (N = 3532) was drawn from the US general population to observe prevalence of worry about MIR as well as potential covariates, including demographic, medical, and psychological factors, health information-seeking, physician trust in providing cancer information, and cancer fatalism. Results: About 65% of the sample population reported experiencing at least some worry about MIR. Univariable and multivariable logistic regressions indicate higher rates of MIR worry among women, racial\/ethnic minorities, those with lower educational attainment, foreign-born Americans, those who self-report poorer health, and those with a personal history of cancer. Lower trust in cancer information from physicians and greater attention to cancer information from popular media were each associated with higher rates of worry about health harms of MIR. Conclusions: An accurate assessment of public worry about MIR will aid primary care providers\u2019 efforts to understand patient responses to medical imaging and identify addressable knowledge gaps regarding benefits and risks of medical imaging. These data may improve risk communication regarding medical imaging among referring primary care physicians, radiologists, and patients.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/2150131916648917","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,5,9]],"date-time":"2016-05-09T22:45:57Z","timestamp":1462833957000},"page":"219-225","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Prevalence and Correlates of Worry About the Health Harms of Medical Imaging Radiation in the General Population"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"7","author":[{"given":"Jennifer L.","family":"Hay","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, New York, NY, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Geoffrey S.","family":"Gold","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hofstra University, Hempstead, NY, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Raymond E.","family":"Baser","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, New York, NY, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hedvig","family":"Hricak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, New York, NY, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lawrence T.","family":"Dauer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, New York, NY, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,6,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-2150131916648917","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1148\/radiol.10101157"},{"issue":"2","key":"bibr2-2150131916648917","first-page":"1","volume":"37","author":"International Commission on Radiological Protection","year":"2007","journal-title":"Ann ICRP"},{"key":"bibr3-2150131916648917","volume-title":"Health Risks From Exposure to Low Levels of Ionizing Radiation: BEIR VII Phase 2","author":"National Research Council","year":"2006"},{"key":"bibr4-2150131916648917","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1148\/radiol.11110616"},{"key":"bibr5-2150131916648917","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.2010.973"},{"key":"bibr6-2150131916648917","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1148\/radiol.2511080671"},{"key":"bibr7-2150131916648917","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1148\/radiol.11111421"},{"key":"bibr8-2150131916648917","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.2011.222"},{"key":"bibr9-2150131916648917","volume":"30","author":"Redberg RF","year":"2014","journal-title":"The New York Times"},{"key":"bibr10-2150131916648917","volume-title":"Paper presented at: The Annual Meeting of the Internation Communication Association","author":"Maloney E","year":"2013"},{"key":"bibr11-2150131916648917","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/pon.864"},{"key":"bibr12-2150131916648917","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/10810730490504233"},{"key":"bibr13-2150131916648917","first-page":"613","volume":"50","author":"Kroenke K","year":"2009","journal-title":"Psychosomatics"},{"key":"bibr14-2150131916648917","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1158\/1055-9965.EPI-06-0608"},{"key":"bibr15-2150131916648917","volume-title":"R: A Language and Environment for Statistical Computing","author":"R Core Team","year":"2014"},{"key":"bibr16-2150131916648917","unstructured":"Lumley T.
