Engaging adolescents in decisions about return of genomic research results
Institution: CINCINNATI CHILDRENS HOSP MED CTR
FOA Number: PA-18-345
Abstract
PROJECT NARRATIVE: Recent recommendations to return children?s results for adult-onset conditions to parents anytime whole exome or genome sequencing is performed, as well as growing expectations to return research results to participants on a large-scale basis, mean adolescents will increasingly be engaged in assenting (<age 18) and consenting (>age 18) to return of genomic research results. There is an urgent need to understand adolescents? informational preferences and to create ethically informed, scalable processes that empower adolescents from diverse backgrounds to participate in the decision-making process about learning genomic results. This research will provide important insights into adolescents? choices, as well as the ethical, legal and societal implications of engaging adolescents in making choices about learning genomic results in genomic research and community-based research settings.
