title: Assessment of Genomic Literacy Among Baccalaureate Nursing Students in the United States: A Feasibility Study.
abstract: The implementation of genomic nursing education should be based on evidence, comparing what students know about genetics and genomics with what they need to know. In this multisite feasibility study, a standardized inventory of genetic-genomic knowledge was administered to students in 14 baccalaureate nursing programs. Data contribute to instrument validation, provide a snapshot of genetic-genomic knowledge among US nursing students, and inform planning for a large, multisite study.
