description | Background and Objectives: Genomic information is increasingly relevant for disease prevention and risk management at the individual and population levels. Screening healthy adults for Tier 1 conditions of hereditary breast and ovarian cancer, Lynch syndrome, and familial hypercholesterolemia using a population-based approach can help identify the 1–2% of the US population at increased risk of developing diseases associated with these conditions and tailor prevention strategies. Our objective is to report findings from an implementation science study that evaluates multi-level facilitators and barriers to implementation of the In Our DNA SC population-wide genomic screening initiative. Methods: We established an IMPACTeam (IMPlementAtion sCience for In Our DNA SC Team) to evaluate the pilot phase using principles of implementation science. We used a parallel convergent mixed methods approach to assess the Reach, Implementation, and Effectiveness outcomes from the RE-AIM implementation science framework during the pilot phase of In Our DNA SC. Quantitative assessment included the examination of frequencies and response rates across demographic categories using chi-square tests. Qualitative data were audio-recorded and transcribed, with codes developed by the study team based on the semi-structured interview guide. Results: The pilot phase (8 November 2021, to 7 March 2022) included recruitment from ten clinics throughout South Carolina. Reach indicators included enrollment rate and representativeness. A total of 23,269 potential participants were contacted via Epic’s MyChart patient portal with 1976 (8.49%) enrolled. Black individuals were the least likely to view the program invitation (28.9%) and take study-related action. As a result, there were significantly higher enrollment rates among White (10.5%) participants than Asian (8.71%) and Black (3.46%) individuals (p < 0.0001). Common concerns limiting reach and participation included privacy and security of results and the impact participation would have on health or life insurance. Facilitators included family or personal history of a Tier 1 condition, prior involvement in genetic testing, self-interest, and altruism. Assessment of implementation (i.e., adherence to protocols/fidelity to protocols) included sample collection rate (n = 1104, 55.9%) and proportion of samples needing recollection (n = 19, 1.7%). There were no significant differences in sample collection based on demographic characteristics. Implementation facilitators included efficient collection processes and enthusiastic clinical staff. Finally, we assessed the effectiveness of the program, finding low dropout rates (n = 7, 0.35%), the identification of eight individuals with Tier 1 conditions (0.72% positive), and high rates of follow-up genetic counseling (87.5% completion). Conclusion: Overall, Asian and Black individuals were less engaged, with few taking any study-related actions. Strategies to identify barriers and promoters for the engagement of diverse populations are needed to support participation. Once enrolled, individuals had high rates of completing the study and follow-up engagement with genetic counselors. Findings from the pilot phase of In Our DNA SC offer opportunities for improvement as we expand the program and can provide guidance to organizations seeking to begin efforts to integrate population-wide genomic screening. |
