Genetic research in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities : continuing the conversation
Kowal, Emma and Anderson, Ian 2012, Genetic research in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities : continuing the conversation, Lowitja Institute, Melbourne, Vic..
Genetics is at the forefront of medical research, but it is rarely used in Indigenous health research projects. This discussion paper is the outcome of the first ever national discussion of the conduct of genetic research in Indigenous communities in Australia convened by the Lowitja Institute in 2010. It reviews the ethical issues relevant to genetic research in an Australian Indigenous context; existing guidelines for genetic research in indigenous communities internationally; and literature on genetic literacy in Indigenous contexts. Finally, the discussion paper presents a summary of the productive and challenging conversations at the round table.
