The Patient-Initiated Actions Attributable to Genomic Testing Survey, developed by the Clinical Utility, Health Economics, and Policy (CUHEP) working group, asks adult patients to report whether they took any actions following the return of genetic test results, including making changes to their own or their child's health care, lifestyle, or insurance.

Christensen and colleagues developed a survey to enable parents of pediatric patients to set preferences for return of individual results from research on pediatric biobank samples based on disease preventability and severity.The survey also enables participants to exclude mental health, developmental, childhood degenerative, and adult-onset disorders. During the course of this study, participants also reviewed a hypothetical results report with conditions divided into categories based on preventability and severity and were offered the opportunity to revise their preferences.
