organizing acronym CARR: (1) clarifying the criteria for evaluating findings (e.g., analytic validity, seriousness of condition, and actionability) and the roster of returnable IFs and IRRs; (2) analyzing a particular finding in light of those criteria and that roster to determine if it constitutes a returnable IF or IRR; (3) re-identifying the individual (or individuals) for potential return; and (4) recontacting the individual (or individuals) to offer the finding.
