Very pleased to share our latest publication where we identified and assessed decision support tools for parents of children with chronic illness. Still lots of work needed in the pediatric, decision-making space! https://t.co/7ZUOofX5Jb

This @GIMJournal paper by @erin_turbitt develops a new measure of personal utility of genomic findings. The lack of a validated patient-reported outcome measure of personal utility has so far impeded assessment of patient-perceived value of genomics. https://t.co/wMH7aQ96H0

Our group’s latest publication is out! Genetics is becoming increasingly relevant to clinical care. Read more about the Attitudes of Australian dermatologists on the use of genetic testing: A cross-sectional survey with a focus on melanoma 🧬👉🏽https://t.co/ufG7QSsUwF @UQMedicine

Really excited about this important work. Congratulations @emmagenetics - can't wait to get started!

[Dr Erin Turbitt @erin_turbitt]

Great to have this work published led by @_ameliaksmit We found that the Australian community had high satisfaction with a genetic counselling phone call after receipt of polygenic risk of melanoma alongside educational info.https://t.co/2PUreeOct2 @JPM_MDPI @AnneECust @UTS_GC

[Future Leaders in Precision Public Health @PPHFutureLeader]

“PPH needs public health ethics as well as clinical ethics." Thank you @biomedethics for a wonderful webinar discussing the role of ethical thinking in the use of precision public health! Critical thinking about values that ground PPH is so important to the growth of the field.
