Video Summary
Thank you all for joining us for this webinar on the role of genomics in addressing mental health inequities. Mr. Vince Bonham from the National Human Genome Research Institute discussed the lack of diversity in genomic research and the need for inclusion of diverse populations in order to make precision medicine more equitable. He highlighted the importance of diverse representation in research studies and the need to address structural issues that contribute to health inequities. Dr. Dolores Malaspina emphasized the complex relationship between genetics and mental health, stressing the need to consider social determinants of health and the impact of trauma and life course exposures. Dr. Ina Kinney discussed the potential of genomics and health systems to improve patient care and outcomes. She emphasized the importance of diversity in biobanks and the need for research to be inclusive and community-focused. The panelists agreed that increasing diversity in genomic research and ensuring equitable access to precision medicine are critical for addressing mental health inequities. They highlighted the need for collaboration between researchers, clinicians, and communities to achieve this goal. Overall, the panelists provided valuable insights into the role of genomics in mental health and offered practical recommendations for advancing equity in this field
