Technology Stereotypes Broken When Children’s Health Involved (09/11/08)

A study of mothers of children with genetic disorders found that the Internet was a major resource in parents’ quests for diagnosis, prognosis, treatments, services, and supports. In addition, mothers often credited other parents with providing some of the most helpful information and thought that this “lay” knowledge should be as valued to the same degree as knowledge coming from the medical community.A summary of the study is available online.
The Culture and Family Interpretations of Genetic Disorder Project was funded by a grant (1 R01 HG02164).from the Ethical, Legal and Social Implications Research Program of NIH/NHGRI. We would like to thank the families for their participation in this study and the medical geneticists and genetic counselors for giving us access and insights to the clinic.
