Presentation Transcript

  1. Challenges with conducting NBS pilot studies Jeffrey R. Botkin, M.D., M.P.H. Professor of Pediatrics Chief, Division of Medical Ethics and Humanities Associate Vice President for Research University of Utah Botkin 2014

  2. DACHDNC Process • Recommendations about inclusion of conditions on the RUSP are evidence-based • Evidence in this context requires quality studies addressing • Test characteristics • Natural history/spectrum of the condition • Impacts of early detection and intervention on child morbidity and mortality Botkin 2014

  3. Challenges • Conduct of research in this public health domain often requires a collaboration with state departments of health • Many state departments of health • Do not consider research to be part of their mission • Are prohibited from conducting certain kinds of research • Variability by IRBs in expectations for human subject protections Botkin 2014

  4. Experience • A number of states have effectively collaborated with investigators to conduct valuable NBS research • A number of states have been unable to support a number of valuable projects • Barriers to research invite implementation of new tests through state mandates rather than an evidence review process Botkin 2014

  5. Proposal for development • DACHDNC discussion and potential recommendations for a national infrastructure to conduct population-based screening on a research basis • Research conducted through state-based programs in order to mirror potential future applications in state-based NBS systems • More detailed presentation at our next meeting Botkin 2014
