“…Yet, her weighing of risks versus benefits reflects debates on the public health impact of personalized risk factors for addiction (Carlsten and Burke 2006; Merikangas and Risch 2003). For smoking, the best public health advice, regardless of individual predispositions, is to not smoke.…”

“…Further, there is a need for genetic information to be rigorously evaluated, with demonstrated and cost effective health benefits, before it is used in a clinical setting (Burke & Psaty, 2007). From a cost-benefit standpoint, many scholars have questioned whether preventative screening or personalized genetic information for addiction will ever be more effective than more traditional approaches (Carlsten & Burke, 2006; W. D. Hall et al, 2008; Merikangas & Risch, 2003), like taking a simple family history (Gartner, Barendregt, & Hall, 2009).…”
