Event Description:
Over the past decade, large-scale array-based and genomic sequencing studies have helped advance our understanding of the genetic architecture of psychiatric disorders, but also exponentially increased the potential to generate clinically relevant findings. As genomic testing becomes more widespread in psychiatry research, urgency grows to understand researchers practices, attitudes, concerns, and perspectives about offering return of results to participants, particularly, to individuals at risk or diagnosed with a psychiatric disorder. We examined these issues with an international sample of psychiatric genomics researchers (n=39) and will discuss the most relevant findings.
