Data were collected within the German PCa screening trial PROBASE. Variables were assessed by self-report questionnaires and a clinical interview. Worry about PCa and absolute/comparative risk perception were assessed each on a 5-point-Likert scale. Multivariable logistic regression was used to identify factors associated with the outcomes of interest. Data were available for 33,476 (72.0
