| Summary: | The
All of Us
(
AoU
) Research Program is making available one of the largest and most diverse collections of health data in the US to researchers. Using the
All of Us
database, we evaluated family and personal histories of five common types of cancer in 89,453 individuals, comparing these data to 24,305 participants from the 2015 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS). Comparing datasets, we found similar family cancer history (33%) rates, but higher personal cancer history in the
AoU
dataset (9.2% in
AoU
vs. 5.11% in NHIS), Methodological (
