	IRB members/researchers lack consensus re: reasonable costs Range $0 to $1500 85% of researchers suggest reasonable cost is >$25
Health literacy	Discrepant assumptions (P < 0.0001) IRB members/researchers estimate that participants have low literacy Research participants self‐estimate high literacy
Anxiety	Discrepant assumptions (P < 0.001) IRB members/researchers estimate that research participants experience high anxiety from receiving a personal MRI report Research participants report low anxiety when actually receiving their own research radiology report
Return of results	87% of research participants want to be informed about all scan findings, regardless of clinical significance
	91% of research participants consider having their scans reviewed and findings reported to them a benefit to study participation
Incidental findings rates	14% of all scans recommended further clinical evaluation Binary categorization of IF into those needing or not needing further evaluation
	In outcomes study, 63% of participants followed up with a doctor as recommended in their MRI report
	37% of participants did not follow‐up as recommended 14% already knew of the IF 29% cited financial reasons for not seeing a doctor 43% decided not to follow‐up after discussing IF with the institution's Medical Director
Clinical follow‐up	38% of participants who followed‐up with a physician after receiving an IF report required further diagnostic studies None regretted receiving their IF report 2 were concerned re: high personal cost of additional testing
