Research Abstract

The aim of this study was to assess public attitudes toward genomic researches and to examine the relationship between public attitudes and the level of genomic literacy by analyzing data from the nationwide opinion surveys. And we assessed attitudes of researchers toward genomic researches. The participants comprised 4,000 people (age, 20-69) selected from the Japanese general population. We determined that a majority of the Japanese participants currently approved of the promotion of genomic studies related to medicine and that people with a high level of genomic literacy tended to approve the promotion.
