☆ People of African Ancestry Are Poorly Represented in Genetic Studies. A New Effort Would Change That
  + stars: | 2023-10-18 | by ( Associated Press | Oct. | At A.M. | ) www.usnews.com   time to read: +4 min
Scientists are setting out to collect genetic material from 500,000 people of African ancestry to create what they believe will be the world’s largest database of genomic information from the population. The initiative was launched Wednesday by Meharry Medical College in Nashville, Tennessee, as well as Regeneron Genetics Center, AstraZeneca, Novo Nordisk and Roche. Organizers said there’s a clear need for the project, pointing to research showing that less than 2% of genetic information being studied today comes from people of African ancestry. Each of the pharmaceutical companies involved intends to contribute $20 million toward the genetic and educational parts of the effort. ___The Associated Press Health and Science Department receives support from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute’s Science and Educational Media Group.

☆ Teens are using social media to diagnose themselves with ADHD, autism and more. Parents are alarmed

But Coleman is one of nearly two dozen parents who told CNN that they are grappling with a different but related issue: teens using social media to diagnose themselves with mental health conditions. Some parents said social media has helped their teens get mental health information they’ve needed and has helped them feel less alone. According to Hamlet, social media companies should tweak algorithms to better detect when users are consuming too much content about a specific topic. Meanwhile, Mary Spadaro Daikos from upstate New York feels mixed about her daughter using social media for reasons related to her autism diagnosis. “She’s doing a lot of self-discovery right now in so many areas, and social media is a big part of that,” she said.
