Cancer Genomics

TAG of the Week: Cancer Genomics

Please watch the following video and answer the questions below. Responses will be due Friday, February 13 at 5 PM.

This video was created by the Genetic Alliance in response to their Cancer Genomics Public Health program and it integrates many of the topics that we have discussed in this class so far.
(1) What are the seven steps that are recommended for creating a successful Tier 1 Public Health program? Which step do you think is the most important and why?
(2) This program was implemented in Michigan and has been very successful.  Are there other states that have implemented this program or something that is similar to it? If so, please list the state and the program. (Make sure to cite your sources appropriately.)
(3) If a state wanted to implement this program, which stakeholders would you involve in the process?
