 The information that I received about my genome will influence how I manage my health in the future | 64 (13.3) | 50 (10.4) | 137 (28.4) | 171 (35.5) | 60 (12.5) |

Attitudes regarding genome sequencing | |||||
 Personal genomic information should be part of a standard medical record | 7 (1.5) | 34 (7.2) | 54 (11.4) | 152 (32.2) | 225 (47.7) |
 Health insurance should cover personal genome sequencing | 26 (5.5) | 56 (11.8) | 95 (20.0) | 128 (26.9) | 171 (35.9) |
 Personal genome sequencing should only be available to people through their doctor | 177 (37.3) | 109 (23.0) | 62 (13.1) | 65 (13.7) | 61 (12.9) |
