美国原住民基因教育(GENA)是由国家人类基因组研究所(NHGRI)/伦理、法律和社会影响(ELSI)资助的教育干预措施，旨在为美国原住民大学生提供独特的遗传学教育计划。课程是在美国各地不同地理环境的研讨会上制定和实施的，主要是与包括大量美洲原住民与会者在内的区域和国家科学会议相结合。最初的课程包括24个目标，并以两种形式提供，一种是16小时的“综合”课程，另一种是更简短的研讨会(以下称为“定制”)，旨在包括针对选定受众的目标。这两种形式都教授足够的遗传学，以允许讨论和理解ELSI以及与遗传学科学相关的文化问题。这篇文章描述了我们实施两种形式的GENA课程的评估结果。
Genetic Education for Native Americans (GENA) was a National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI)/Ethical, Legal, and Social Implications (ELSI)-funded educational intervention designed to provide a unique genetics education program for Native American college and university students. A curriculum was developed and implemented in workshops in geographically diverse settings throughout the United States, primarily in conjunction with regional and national scientific conferences that include substantial numbers of Native American attendees. The original curriculum includes 24 objectives and has been offered in two formats, as a 16-hr "comprehensive" program and in briefer workshops (referred to as "customized" hereafter) that are designed to include objectives for selected audiences. Both formats teach sufficient genetics to allow discussion and understanding of the ELSI and cultural issues related to genetics science. This article describes the evaluation findings from our implementation of both formats of the GENA curriculum.
