A related concern is whether a person should ever be required to undergo genetic testing for psychiatric disorders. In the Danish survey, 95% of respondents believed that people have the right not to know their risk genes, with no significant differences among patients, relatives, and medical and psychology students (Laegsgaard & Mors, 2008). In the same study, though, 14% of subjects believed family members of psychiatric patients should be obliged to test for the disease (differences across groups, n.s.), 38% supported psychiatric genetic testing of soldiers (students < patients, O.R. 0.5, p<0.01; students < relatives, O.R. 0.5, p<0.01), and 46% supported testing persons occupying high-responsibility jobs (students < patients, O.R. 0.4, p<0.01; students < relatives, O.R. 0.3, p<0.001; relatives > patients, O.R. 1.6, p<0.05). Twenty-two percent supported testing persons who want to adopt (students < relatives, O.R. 0.3, p<0.01; relatives > patients, O.R. 1.7, p<0.01), and 19% supported testing children given up for adoption (students < patients, O.R. 0.3, p<0.01; students < relatives, O.R. 0.2, p<0.01) (Laegsgaard & Mors, 2008).
