Family health history (FHH) is one of the most important tools in precision medicine and is integral to improving health outcomes through early identification of individuals at risk for both rare and chronic conditions. Additionally, FHH represents both a family's shared genetics and environment adding important nuances to disease risk interpretation beyond those represented by genetics alone. In this chapter, we describe health risk assessments (HRAs), explore how FHH affects HRAs, how FHH improves outcomes, and the role of FHH in both rare and chronic disease, as well as review how to collect FHH and why it is underutilized.
