Returning Individual Research Results and Data: Digging Deeper into Genetic Results and Secondary Findings
Webinar
Presented on: September 21, 2023
Presented at: Virtual
The MRCT Center released a series of case studies describing research stakeholder experiences of returning individual results to participants at a recent webinar in May. Given the interest and number of questions we received, we offered three virtual “Digging Deeper” sessions to foster additional discussion and learning about topics that can be challenging to navigate.
This webinar was the third of the three webinars in the Digging Deeper series. Megan Frone of the National Cancer Institute discussed a case about returning genetic/genomic results and secondary findings.
