abstract = {According to the International Public Opinion Survey on
Cancer 2020, on average, nearly 1 in 3 individuals in
high-income countries (HIC) did not engage in risk
reduction. Meanwhile, only 1 in 4 individuals reported being
aware that eating red and processed meat was a cancer risk
factor. We explored relations between risk-reduction
behavior and self-perceived knowledge of cancer risk factors
in HIC using data from the survey. The average effect of
knowledge, and interaction effects with country and risk
factor were estimated using a linear model fit. The model
included main and two-way interaction terms between the
proportion of respondents who knew about a specific risk
factor, and risk factor and country. The overall
significance of knowledge impact and interaction terms was
tested using type III tests in ANCOVA. Based on our
analysis, we found that knowledge of cancer risk factors was
positively associated with risk reduction in HIC. Every unit
increase in the proportion of the population knowledgeable
about a cancer risk factor, on average across risk factors
and HIC, significantly increases the proportion of people
engaging in risk reduction by approximately $16.91\%.$ A
significant interaction effect was found between knowledge
and country, but not between knowledge and risk factor.
Using respondents' non-response options to represent lack of
risk factor knowledge Japan had the largest percentage of
individuals lacking knowledge about risk factors as well as
the largest percentage of individuals not engaging in risk
reduction.},
