A feasibility study to collect three generation family histories using a patient completed questionnaire provided by a family physician.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Assessing family history is an important part of routine family practice. The primary aim of this study was to determine whether patients can complete a take home questionnaire provided by their family physician. 564 eligible patients attached to a family practice in British Columbia were invited to participate in the study. The average age of invitees was 55.59 years old. Among them, 277 were male (49.1%) and 287 were female (50.8%). 89 participants returned a family history questionnaire, 15.78% response rate. The average age of participants was 65.8 and ranged from 22 to 92 years old. 32 participants were male (35.9%) and 57 were female (64.0%). Family history pedigrees were obtained from the questionnaires. Family history and pedigrees inform health care decisions as part of routine care and risk assessment in a family practice setting. Assessing family history in the workflow of a family physician's office will be important to integration of genetics and family medicine in the future. Our study demonstrates the feasibility of family history assessment in family practice.
