What patient really want to know: results from the GHGA focus groups

How to talk in an accessible and emphatic way about the sharing of genetic data? GHGA consulted patients, relatives and interested persons - and gained valuable insights.

Second, focus groups on communication needs gave us essential feedback for GHGA’s upcoming public information portal.

Participants asked for:
🔹 Transparency about risks (including for family)
🔹 Concrete examples of data use
🔹 Clear, accessible language

Involving patients in governance was seen as crucial to strengthen accountability and trust.

Patient Involvement in Genomic Data Governance

GHGA’s PaGODA study, which explored how patients can be meaningfully involved in the governance of genomic data, has now been published in Public Health Genomics.

🔍 First, the PaGODA study results are now published in Public Health Genomics.

Together with patient co-researchers, we explored how patients want to be meaningfully involved in genomic data governance.

Key findings:
✅ Clear roles
✅ Transparency
✅ Real opportunities to make a difference

🧵 How can patient perspectives shape the future of genomic research — not just in how data is used, but also in how it’s governed and communicated?
At GHGA, two recent activities have given us valuable insights. 👇

It's not just about data—it's about how we use it, share it, and protect it.

The goal? Accelerate science, enable care, and build public trust.
