The Centers for Disease Control Office of Public Health Genomics is in the process of developing a survey to test health messages that will be part of some “translation products” they are developing. These messages will be used to inform health care providers about the new genetic testing recommendations by the Evaluation of Genomic Applications in Practice and Prevention (EGAPP) workgroup.

The Office of Public Health Genomics is looking for health care providers who can participate in a two-hour phone interview. The type of providers that they would like to interview include:

1. Genetic counselors
2. General practitioners
3. Oncologists
4. Nurse practitioners
5. Physician Assistants

Participants do not need to have knowledge or expertise in genetics or genomics, and do not need to know anything about the EGAPP recommendations. Participants will receive a small token of thanks.

• To read the EGAPP recommendation, visit the EGAPP website at: http://www.egappreviews.org/workingrp/recommendations.htm
• To participate in the interviews, or if you have questions about the project, contact:
