In this episode of Behind the Genes, we explore what we have learnt so far from running the study and how it continues to evolve in response to emerging challenges. The conversation delves into key lessons from early recruitment, the challenges of ensuring diverse representation, and the ethical considerations surrounding the storage of genomic data. Our guests discuss how ongoing dialogue with communities is helping to refine recruitment strategies, improve equity in access, and enhance the diversity of genomic data. Our host Vivienne Parry, Head of Public Engagement at Genomics England, is joined by Alice Tuff-Lacey, Program Director for the Generation Study; Dalia Kasperaviciute, Scientific Director for Human Genomics at Genomics England; and Kerry Leeson Bevers, CEO of Alström Syndrome UK.

Podcast: How has design research shaped the Generation Study? Blog: What is the Generation Study? \"We always have to remember, don’t we, that if people say no to these things, it’s not a failure to on our part, or a failure on their part. It’s just something they’ve thought about and they don’t want to do, and for all sorts of different reasons. And the other reflection I have about different communities is the ‘different’ bit, is that what approach works for one community may not work for another, and I think that that’s something that’s going to have to evolve over length of the study, is finding the things that are the right way, the most helpful way to approach people.\" You can download the transc…","meta_description":"As of February 2025, the Generation Study has recruited over 3,000 participants.
