The web survey assessed respondent demographics, information\u2010seeking activities, and perceived benefits and risks of wGT.

Demographics associated with lower odds of being a Tester included self\u2010reporting as Black, non\u2010Hispanic (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.001), male (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.004), and less than one year of employment (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.001). Non\u2010Testers endorsed more perceived risks regarding wGT (e.g., privacy, discrimination) than Testers, while Testers more commonly endorsed perceived benefits, including lack of cost and potential healthcare benefits. Non\u2010Testers engaged in fewer information\u2010seeking activities than Testers. Non\u2010Testers' most common decision\u2010making activity was talking with family (28.9%), and Testers' most common activity was engaging with the testing company's information (50.0%).\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This is the first study to examine wGT decision\u2010making in a real\u2010world setting. To address the perceived risks of Non\u2010Testers and ensure equitable access, it may be necessary to develop educational materials that review current legal protections and limitations, as well as potential health benefits of genetic testing. Outreach strategies providing such education must address different types of information seeking to ensure perceived risks are addressed.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/mgg3.70311","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,17]],"date-time":"2026-10-17T03:51:39Z","timestamp":1792209099000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["To Test or Not to Test: A Real\u2010World Study of Employee Views and Decision\u2010Making for Genetic Testing in the Workplace"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4128-1649","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Katherine","family":"Hendy","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health Behavior &amp; Health Equity University of Michigan School of Public Health  Ann Arbor Michigan USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rebecca","family":"Ferber","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine University of Michigan School of Medicine  Ann Arbor Michigan USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Subhamoy","family":"Pal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology University of Michigan School of Medicine  Ann Arbor Michigan USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0006-7898-5817","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sarah","family":"McCain","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health Behavior &amp; Health Equity University of Michigan School of Public Health  Ann Arbor Michigan USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0006-3441-6866","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alyx","family":"Vogle","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiology Brigham and Women's Hospital  Boston Massachusetts USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3245-9196","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jonathan M.","family":"Reader","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology University of Michigan School of Medicine  Ann Arbor Michigan USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2444-2009","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Elizabeth","family":"Charnysh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Jackson Laboratory for Genomic Medicine  Farmington Connecticut USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"W.
