Correlations between subjective and predicted risk. Note: Predicted probabilities are obtained by estimating lasso logit models on an indicator for actual health service use in the last 12 months using the HILDA sample and predicting health service use in the Online Sample from the resulting estimates. Stated expectations are the expected probability of health service use in the next 12 months. Dashed lines indicate the mean values for each axis. Data from the 2013 wave of HILDA are used for the prediction models. After restricting the sample to those aged 25-64 years with non-missing data, n=9,460, n=9,306, n=9,362 and n=9,460 for hospital, dentist, optometrist and physiotherapist respectively. n=1,528 in the Online Survey sample
