“Precision Public Health”, a term first coined in 2013, is a nascent research field (Khoury 2016; Olstad & McIntyre, 2019). A central tenet of the field is the aim to identify the right intervention for the right individuals at the right time (Olstad & McIntyre, 2019).
Our developing program is organized around six domains of public health research. In considering what research to pursue, we ask how evidence-based genomic discovery could inform innovative interventions that promote advancement in these domains.
Interventions to disseminate genomic risk stratification efforts to public health settings.
Interventions to foster family communication and promote uptake of preventive behaviors.
Interventions to influence adherence to secondary prevention.
Characterizing needs of sub-populations at genomic risks.
Interventions to support expansion of the reach of genomic services.
Promoting dissemination of evidence-based guidelines related to genomic interventions.
