NCT07713784
Investigating ELSI Issues That May Facilitate or Impede Clinical Translation of Epigenetic Research. Phase 3b
Conditions: Healthy

Ages: 18 Years – N/A
Healthy volunteers: Yes
Phase: NA
Enrollment: 1000
Sponsor: Washington University School of Medicine
Summary
Few people realize that environmental pollution and some behaviors like physical activity and tobacco smoking can affect their health by "turning on" or "turning off" certain genes through a process called "epigenetic modification." This study will develop and test strategies for communicating about epigenetics that are understandable and that do not increase ethical, legal or social issues (ELSI).
