Despite healthcare professionals (HCP) endorsing the clinical utility of pharmacogenomics testing, use in practice is limited.To assess HCP' perceptions pharmacogenomic testing and identify barriers to implementation.HCP involved prescribing decisions at three hospitals Sydney, Australia, were invited participate. The online survey assessed including: (i) demographic variables; (ii) use, knowledge confidence; (iii) perceived benefits; (iv) implementation; (v) operational and/or system...
Australia will take a world-first step towards offering preventive DNA screening through the public health care system In adult-onset genomic conditions, such as hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC), Lynch syndrome familial hypercholesterolaemia, certain variants confer high risk of developing future disease.1 for these conditions could thereby identify medically actionable genetic factors, prompting timely management informed decision making from early adulthood to facilitate...
Abstract Genomic medicine is being implemented on a global scale, requiring genomic-competent health workforce. To inform education as part of implementation strategies to optimize adoption genomics by non-genetics physicians, we investigated current practices, perceptions and preferences relating genomic testing education. Australian physicians completed an online survey; conducted univariate multivariate analyses determinants confidence engagement with medicine. Confident or engaged...
Targeted genomic education and training of professionals have been identified as core components strategies implementation plans for the use genomics in health care systems. Education needs to be effective support sustained appropriate care. Evaluation programs identify effectiveness is challenging. Furthermore, those responsible development delivery are not necessarily trained and/or evaluation. Program logic models used evaluation by articulating a logical explanation how program intends...
<title>Abstract</title> People with intellectual disability want to learn more about their health and genetics. They be empowered the knowledge skills make informed genetic healthcare choices. Little is known what high school students health, genetics or healthcare. To address this gap, we conducted an inclusive qualitative research study in Australia.<bold> </bold>Fourteen Australian current recently graduated participated semi-structured interviews. Inductive content analysis revealed four...
Abstract Complex genomic technologies are increasingly utilised in research. However, human research ethics committee (HREC) members lack confidence reviewing genomics applications. This study developed and evaluated the acceptability utility of an online educational resource on ethical considerations for HREC members. Resource development evaluation was theoretically informed. Qualitative semi-structured interviews with subject experts were transcribed deductively analysed. Participants ( n...
Despite the advancements in production and accessibility of videos animations, a gap exists between their potential for science teaching actual use classroom. The aim this study was to develop evaluate an approach boost chemistry biology teachers’ Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) confidence regarding animations class, which are required effective implementation. Twelve experienced high-school teachers participated professional development workshop including biochemistry...
Personal genomic testing using direct-to-consumer and consumer-directed models, with or without involvement of healthcare providers, is increasing internationally, including in Australia. This study forms a sub-set the Genioz - Genomics: National Insights Australians. We aimed to explore Australians' experiences these types tests, especially online DNA their views regarding whom they would seek support from around understanding test results. The used mixed methods approach, employing an...
Background and objectiveGenomics is moving rapidly into mainstream medicine through clinical genomic testing consumer-initiated online DNA testing.The aim of this study was to identify Australian general practitioners' (GPs') views on genomics, impact practice educational needs inform continuing education. MethodsSemi-structured interviews were conducted, with constant comparative inductive analysis governance from a national taskforce. ResultsTwenty-eight GPs (43% female) interviewed; 71%...
Personal genomic tests (PGTs) for multiple purposes are marketed to ostensibly healthy people in Australia. These generally and purchased online commercially or can be ordered through a health professional. There has been minimal engagement with Australians about their interest experience ordering PGT. As part of multistage, interdisciplinary project, an survey (Stage 2 the Genioz study) was available from May 2016 2017. In total, 3253 respondents attempted survey, 2395 completed Australian...
The need for co-educators to drive a new model of inclusive, person-centred and respectful co-healthcare with people intellectual disability
Personal genomic testing provides healthy individuals with access to information about their genetic makeup for purposes including ancestry, paternity, sporting ability and health. Such tests are available commercially globally, accessibility expected continue grow, in Australia; yet little is known of the views/expectations Australians. Focus groups were conducted within a multi-stage, cross-disciplinary project (Genioz) explore this. In mid-2015, 56 members public participated seven focus...
Abstract Facilitating informed decision‐making regarding genetic testing is a core component of counseling practice. Internationally, shifting toward gene panels and genomic testing, including whole exome genome sequencing to improve diagnostic yield cost‐effectiveness. This study explored genetics practitioners’ current experience with tests the associated evolution Genetics practitioners experience, were purposively invited participate in semi‐structured telephone interview snowball...
Background: Primary care, or general, practitioners (GPs) are increasingly expected to communicate with and support their patients through genetic genomic testing. However, GPs worldwide report a lack of knowledge about genetics what constitutes test. Few Australian educational resources for medical address core capabilities in genomics. Methods: We developed evaluated 90-minute online education module, Navigating Genomic Testing General Practice, hosted 12 months. The module aimed increase...
