Mixed methods can be very useful for genetic counselling research but there are considerations for rigour and validity. We wrote a methods paper about the opportunities and challenges for high quality MM genetic counselling research!

New paper alert! 🚨 Up to 39% of Canadians have unmet need for genetic counselling and that its associated with some sociodemographic characteristics. Much of this unmet need is for multifactorial conditions and wouldn’t be met through the current system.

Regular reminder to patient and public partners that if you see a scientific paper behind a paywall, email the 'corresponding author' who's named and whose email address is on the paper for a copy. You're not bothering them - they'll love that you reached out with an interest in their research!

On Genetic Counsellor Awareness Day I am thinking about the importance of people knowing, not only that GCs exist, but what we actually DO and how we help people make meaning of genetic information and use it in alignment with their values, wants, and needs.
