Percentages for breast self-examination and mammography include only women, and those for prostate-specific antigen testing include only men. Additional information regarding the rationale behind the assessment of clinical benefit, current guidelines for screening tests, and relevant references are provided in Table 1 in the Supplementary Appendix.
The values in this category are the percentages of subjects who reported actually completing the listed screening test since receiving their genomic risk results.
The values in this category are the percentages of subjects who reported having an intention to increase the frequency of the listed screening test since receiving their genomic risk results. However, the percentages do not reflect the number of subjects who said they intended to complete a screening test after receiving their genomic results. Thus, the proportions of subjects in this category are generally lower than the proportions of subjects who reported actually completing the screening test.
Orange color coding represents a condition for which the subject's estimated lifetime risk was more than 20% above average or for which the overall lifetime risk was more than 25%.
