在种族和民族健康差异的背景下审查遗传和基因组信息和技术的伦理、民族/祖先和社会问题。研究和期刊文章、政府报告、网站。随着对人类遗传变异及其与疾病的联系的了解不断增长，一些人认为种族和民族完全可以作为预测疾病病因和治疗反应的遗传替代物。然而，临床互动中的刻板印象和偏见可能会阻碍少数族裔患者的有效治疗。护理专业在确保基因组医疗保健不会加剧种族和民族健康不平等方面发挥着关键作用。这将需要利用新的基因组知识，并以文化和临床上适当的方式照顾每个患者。
To review ethical, ethnic/ancestral, and societal issues of genetic and genomic information and technologies in the context of racial and ethnic health disparities. Research and journal articles, government reports, web sites. As knowledge of human genetic variation and its link to diseases continues to grow, some see race and ethnicity well poised to serve as genetic surrogates in predicting disease etiology and treatment response. However, stereotyping and bias, in clinical interactions can be barriers to effective treatment for racial and ethnic minority patients. The nursing profession has a key role in assuring that genomic healthcare does not enhance racial and ethnic health inequities. This will require utilization of new genomic knowledge and caring for each patient as an individual in a culturally and clinically appropriate manner.
