Dive deeper into this product! The Public Attitudes for Genomic Policy blog series aims to translate findings from the “Your DNA, Your Say” initiative (YDYS) and other public attitudes studies into useful outputs for stakeholders, such as policymakers and other researchers. YDYS explores how people around the world feel about the collection, use, and sharing of genetic and health data for research. The blog series aims to explore the key topics of YDYS, such as dual trust and trustworthiness, return of results, and genetic exceptionalism, as well as develop further information on wider public attitudes and considerations relevant to each key topic. We are looking for members to write these briefs, and support the work of others.
