NCT ID NCT07309835
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study aims to understand why ethnic minority groups in England may not be using genomic medicine services as much as others. Researchers will interview 100 adults, including community members, patients, and healthcare professionals, to gather experiences and ideas. The goal is to recommend changes that make these services more equitable for everyone.
