This chapter examines three selected issues that, although not unique to genetics, are becoming increasingly important in genetic epidemiology: federal policies for widespread data sharing, the use of “race” as a variable in research involving genetics, and concepts of community engagement. These issues are interrelated and represent areas of tension between participant protection and the quality and efficiency of research.

Keywords:   epidemiology, genetics, data sharing, race, genetic research, community engagement
