Is there a tool that can assist me in collecting my family health history?

Answer:

There is a computer-based tool available in both English and Spanish that can be accessed at http://www.hhs.gov/familyhistory. Since the tool is downloaded onto your computer, no information is collected or recorded anywhere else. The tool works by guiding you through steps on how to collect and enter family history information and results in a printed family health portrait similar in format to a genetic family tree.

If you prefer a Web-based site to create and print your family history, visit: 

• English: http://familyhistory.hhs.gov/
• Spanish: http://familyhistory.hhs.gov/spanish/

Paper versions are available at:
