Mean scores for “concern for self” were calculated only for the 68 individuals who reported they did not already have a personal diagnosis of alcoholism (of these participants, 42 felt that genetic counseling would be helpful, and 26 felt it would not be useful). Mean scores for concern about siblings and children were calculated from all 113 participants (of whom 69 thought genetic counseling for addictions would be useful, and 44 thought it would not be helpful)
