Hello All,
I hope you are well!
We are holding the next YDYS webinar which will be delivered by Qurratulain Annie Hasan on Wednesday March 30th at 10am UK time. Please see below for more details:
Wednesday 30th March 2022
10:00-11:00 BST
Dr. Qurratulain Annie Hasan
The role of awareness in DNA data sharing and public opinion in India — challenges observed
The foundation of the study ‘Your DNA, Your Say’ rests on the willingness of individuals around the world to share data about themselves which is then made available to clinicians and researchers and society at large for health care. Trust is an important factor in sharing DNA information. However, during analysis of Indian data, it was evident that people’s awareness about DNA has to be assessed before we can establish their willingness to donate.
In this seminar Dr. Qurratulain (Annie) Hasan, Sr. Consultant & HOD, Research Director at the Department of Genetics and Molecular Medicine, Kamineni Hospitals, Hyderabad, India along with Swayamsiddha Sahoo, Research Trainee under Dr. Hasan, who has completed her MA in Public Policy and Governance from Tata Institute of Social Sciences, Hyderabad, India; will discuss their methodology and findings. They will also elaborate on how variables like gender, age and level of education are factors that are decisive regarding awareness to DNA and how their awareness plays an important role in building trust to donate their DNA data. They will also try address the staggering questions pertaining to Big Data, DNA and Public Policy.

If you could share this with anyone you feel would be interested in attending, or on social media channels, that would be fantastic. Please find attached the banner we have created for twitter.
Have a lovely weekend and hopefully see you virtually on Wednesday!

How do Costa Ricans view genomic data sharing? How willing are they to
share data, and who do they trust?
The Your DNA, Your Say global survey explores the attitudes of individuals
regarding genomic data sharing for research, which allows comparisons on
how these views vary between regions of the world and countries. Gabriela
Chavarría-Soley and Henriette Raventós are researchers at the University of
Costa Rica. Their work has focused on identifying genetic risk variants
for severe mental disorders in Costa Rica. In this seminar, they will
describe their two-decade experience with participants in genetic studies
in light of the Your DNA, Your Say results for the country. They will focus
on how the willingness to share genomic data depends on the later use of
the data, and on who the most trusted persons with this information are.
Preliminary patterns seen in Latin American countries as a group will also
be discussed. Additionally, they will present recent qualitative results
regarding beliefs and practices in the area of genetics of mental disorders
in a group of social actors in Costa Rica. The implication of these
findings for the historical underrepresentation of Latin populations in
genomic studies will be discussed.

Hello,
I’m writing with a reminder of our YDYS webinar, taking place today at 16:00 GMT and delivered by Torsten Voigt and Barbara Prainsack:
“For-profit companies don’t care about patients’ well-being”: Data and sharing in Germany.
On average, Germans seem less willing to donate their medical and DNA data than residents of other countries. Why is this? Torsten Voigt and Barbara Prainsack will provide some answers on the basis of the German Your DNA, Your Say survey.
