The Genetics and Public Policy Center at Johns Hopkins University, the National Coalition for Health Professional Education in Genetics, and Genetic Alliance have teamed up to produce educational materials about the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA).

The public-oriented materials – including an interactive website, “GINA & You” information sheet, and slide set for advocacy organizations – are available, at http://www.GINAHelp.org

The materials for health-care providers include background documents, a discussion guide suggesting how and when to talk about GINA with patients, a teaching slide set, and case studies that describe how the law works in a variety of real-world, clinical settings. These materials are available on the website for the National Coalition for Health Professional Education in Genetics (NCHPEG), at http://www.nchpeg.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=97&Itemid=120

The Genetics and Public Policy Center (GPPC), part of the Johns Hopkins Berman Institute of Bioethics, will have all of the materials on its website, at http://www.dnapolicy.org. The GPPC’s site also includes FAQs and other fact sheets about GINA aimed at a general audience.
