Abstract

Objectives. We assessed attitudes and opinions of members of newborn blood screening (NBS) advisory committees regarding the storage and secondary research use of residual specimens from NBS. Methods. We conducted focus groups in 2008 and 2009 with NBS advisory committees (4 focus groups; n=39 participants) in the Mountain States region (i.e., AZ, CO, MT, NM, NV, TX, UT, and WY). Results. Participants identified several challenges to implementing policies for storage of and research on residual newborn blood specimens. Themes that emerged from the data were public health relevancy; improvement of parental knowledge; impact of enhanced parental involvement; concerns over ownership, privacy, and confidentiality; identification of secondary research uses; and role of advisory committees. Conclusions. Participants indicated that secondary uses of residual specimens entailed opportunities for improvements in NBS programs but also carried significant risks for their programs. Addressing concerns from stakeholders will be necessary for state-level adoption of national recommendations.
