Notice of Request for Public Comment 

AGENCY: Secretary’s Advisory 

Committee on Genetics, Health, and 

Society, Office of the Secretary, 

Department of Health and Human 

Services. 

SUMMARY: The Secretary’s Advisory 

Committee on Genetics, Health, and 

Society (SACGHS) is requesting public 

comment on a draft report to the 

Secretary of Health and Human Services 

(HHS) on genetics education and 

training of health care professionals, 

public health providers, and consumers. 

A copy of the draft report is available 

electronically at http://oba.od.nih.gov/ 

SACGHS/ 

sacghs_public_comments.html. A copy 

may also be obtained by contacting 

Kathryn Camp at campkm@od.nih.gov 

or 301–496–9838. 

DATES: Please submit all public 

comments by June 30, 2010, for 

consideration by SACGHS as it finalizes 

its report to the Secretary. 

ADDRESSES: Public comments on the 

draft report should be addressed to 

Steven Teutsch, MD, MPH, SACGHS 

Chair, and transmitted via e-mail to 

Kathryn Camp at campkm@od.nih.gov. 

Comments may also be mailed to 

SACGHS, attn: Kathryn Camp, Office of 

Biotechnology Activities, National 

Institutes of Health, 6705 Rockledge

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Department of Health and Human 

Services (HHS) established SACGHS to 

serve as a public forum for deliberations 

on the broad range of human health and 

societal issues raised by the 

development and use of genetic 

technologies and, as warranted, to 

provide advice on these issues. For 

more information about the Committee, 

please visit its Web site: http:// 

oba.od.nih.gov/SACGHS/ 

sacghs_public_comments.html. 

SACGHS identified genetics 

education and training of health care 

professionals, the public health 

workforce, and consumers as a high 

priority during its 2004 and 2008 

priority-setting processes. Providing 

genetics education and training for 

health professionals is vital to achieve 

the optimal use of genetic and genomic 

technologies and ensure the appropriate 

integration of genetic knowledge into 

the health care and public health 

systems. In addition, the public will 

need sound information regarding the 

role of genetics and genomics in health 

and disease and guidance to assist in 

informed decisionmaking as the 

availability of genetic tests and directto-consumer genetic services increases. 

The draft report, Genetics Education 

and Training of Health Care 

Professionals, Public Health Providers, 

and Consumers, discusses the current 

state of genetics education and training 

of health care professionals, public 

health providers, and consumers and 

explores genetics education and training 

activities of Federal departments and 

agencies, health professional 

organizations, and consumer advocacy 

groups. It presents recommendations in 

three major areas: (1) The genetics 

education and training needs and gaps 

for health care professionals, public 

health providers, and consumers; (2) the 

specific needs of health care 

professionals and public health 

providers who work with underserved 

and underrepresented groups and 

populations and the needs of consumers 

with varying literacy levels; and (3) the 

importance of family health history in 

risk assessment and health promotion. 

Once finalized, the report and 

recommendations will be transmitted to 

the Secretary of Health and Human 

Services. 

SACGHS is requesting comments on 

all aspects of the draft report and 

recommendations. In particular, the 

Committee would welcome feedback on 

the following questions: 

• Are the discussions of topics and 

issues accurate and complete? 

• Do the conclusions of the draft 

report follow from the literature review 

and SACGHS survey and interview 

results? 

• Do the draft recommendations 

target the issues and concerns identified 

in this report? 

• Are the recommendations specific 

enough? Do they rely to the appropriate 

degree on the public sector? On the 

private sector? On public-private 

partnerships? 

• Which draft recommendations 

should be of highest priority for the 

Federal government to address? 

Comments received by June 30, 2010, 

will be considered by SACGHS in 

preparing the final report. The revised 

draft report and public comments will 

be discussed at a future SACGHS 

meeting. 

Comments will also be available for 

public inspection at the NIH Office of 

Biotechnology Activities, Monday 

through Friday, between the hours of 

9 a.m. and 5 p.m. 

Dated: May 18, 2010.
