    Principal Investigator(s): Siders, Jane

    Institution: University of Southern Mississippi

    FOA Number: N/A

    Abstract

    The purpose of this project is to develop, implement and evaluate a model comprehensive genetic education program for health, education and human services professionals in Mississippi. The project will also facilitate the dissemination of this program (GenESES) into continuing education programs of southeastern states and into pre-service training programs of institutions of higher learning. The specific objectives of these project are:
    - to develop appropriate curriculum materials for GenESES that are responsive to the needs and relevant to the experiences of health, education, and human services professionals through integration of an interdisciplinary, family-centered, and community-based approach
    - to test, evaluate and modify the pilot GenESES curriculum through implementation of nine workshops with participants representing multidisciplinary health, human services, and education professionals;
    - to evaluate the impact of the GenESES Project on the knowledge base and clinical practice of participating professionals; and
    - to facilitate dissemination of the GenESES Project into continuing education programs of southeastern states and into pre-service training programs of institutions of higher learning.
