A Study to Evaluate the Pandemic Response Optimizing Technology and Ethics for Coronavirus Teams Implementing Novel Genetics

Overview

Información sobre este estudio

The purpose of this study is to explore lay understandings toward participating in and perceptions of consent to biospecimen research and valuation of genetics in SARS-COV-2 infection, testing, immunity, and vaccine development, to explore professional attitudes toward and perception of barriers and facilitators for implementating genetic technology to facilitate understanding of SARS-COV-2 infection and immunity, improvement and scale-up of testing, and vaccine development, and to identify ethical, social, and inter-professional aspects of microbial genetic technology implementation in population health surveillance, clinical test development, and vaccine research.We hypothesize that engagement with individuals whom directly experience and/or are impacted by the increasing use of SARS-Cov-2 genetic technology, including COVID-19 Pandemic Response Biobank contributors and interdisciplinary expert teams will help identify ethical and social issues in adopting and implementing emerging technology.
