To describe the strategic implementation agenda for South Carolina’s PWGS program (In Our DNA SC), examine how informatics infrastructure could support monitoring the PWGS program, and assess equity in screening coverage by rurality and social disadvantage based on collected data.
Approach:
Community Engagement: Community-based collection events were organized in collaboration with local organizations to enhance reach and participation across diverse populations, ensuring that the events were accessible and culturally relevant.
Key Findings:
The program aims to address inequities in access to genetic screening in South Carolina, as evidenced by targeted outreach efforts.
A robust informatics infrastructure was established for monitoring program enrollment and screening completion, facilitating real-time data analysis.
Efforts were made to ensure representation across all counties, including rural and socially disadvantaged communities, as part of the program's design.
Interpretation:
The implementation of the In Our DNA SC program represents a significant effort to improve access to genomic screening and promote health equity in South Carolina.
