Since the last comparable survey of DTC 4 the number of companies providing DTC genetic tests appears to have almost doubled from 22 identified in 2013 to 39 identified in 2015.
The weakness was mirrored by comparable surveys of purchasing managers in other rich countries.

A key challenge for measuring health behaviors and conducting epidemiological studies in the Latino population is the development of comparable survey instruments capable of eliciting valid and repeatable responses concerning both health behaviors and the psychological and social aspects of the recent immigrants [e.g., [ 1]].
Methodological strengths of the present study include the large sample size, the availability of comparable survey instruments, the sampling strategies and methods of data collection, and also, the diverse nature of the various oral health-related behaviors.
The largest comparable surveys were of R genes from Italian ryegrass (62 sequences: [ 39]) and from both annual and perennial ryegrass and the corresponding interspecific hybrid (16 sequences: [ 38], all derived by means of degenerate primer-based amplification. In this study, 102 distinct R genes were isolated and functionally annotated.
This study has a number of strengths, including the utilisation of high quality and comparable survey data.
We find little evidence, either from considering successive cross-sectional waves of comparable surveys, or in terms of the strategy switch choices of specific plants, that there has been a systematic move towards the joint use of internal and external knowledge in innovation.
