Assumptions
This is a workshop that would follow several other topics (e.g., overview of cancer among AI/ANs, importance of cancer screening, etc.)
Thus, it is not an introductory topic
This is a pilot test to review scientific and cultural information specific to biobanks and biospecimens
We appreciate your help in modifying this workshop
Please write your suggestions down and at the end of the workshop, we will share comments and recommendations for changes
Please turn off your cell phones or switch them

Audience Response System (ARS) – keypads
This is how we vote on different items and issuesAlthough the keypads are “anonymous” (we don’t know who uses which keypad); but we would like you to use the same one throughout the workshop You do not need to “point” the keypad (like a TV remote control)You will see a counter on the screen that shows how many people have “voted” on any itemYou press the number on the keypad that best describes your answer (use “0” for “10” on the keypad)

Audience Response System (ARS) – keypads
You can change your vote up until the final vote has been collected and the slide advances
A top bar appears and the upper right-hand box needs to be “green” before you vote.
A summary of bar graphs appears on the screen after the votes are completed for most items so that everyone can see the total tallies
The summary bar graph will not appear for pre-workshop knowledge items or workshop satisfaction

session the participant will be able to:
1. Describe biospecimens and biobanking.2. Discuss ethical, legal, social, spiritual
and cultural considerations and policies related to tissue donation for research.

QUESTION: Why is this topic important for AIANs?
Science is rapidly changing and AIANs may want to take part (inclusiveness)
As part of research advancing, do AIANs want to contribute to the body of knowledge?
Genetic specimens in biobanks and repositories may contribute to medicines (targeted therapies) tailored to the individual or the community
Objective 1:
Describe biospecimens
and biobanking.

After Research Is Completed
Research results may not be ready for many years.
Donors don’t get to decide what type of research for which their specimen is used
Donors receive results of own medical tests, but usually not results of research performed with leftover tissue.

Havasupai Study & Case (1989 – 2010)

Misuse of blood samples and DNA originally collected for research on diabetes

Havasupai Study & Case (1989 – 2010)
These research specimens were later used for multiple other purposes including research on “schizophrenia, inbreeding and population migration.”
Insufficient informed consent process
Part of the Havasupai conflict was that the tribe thought their specimens were being used for a single study and the researchers thought the specimens were for biobanking

Havasupai (continued)Researchers need to be careful about violations of research ethics for individual studies versus biospecimen storage that allows many researchers to access the specimen for studies without subsequent tribal or individual donor approvals
$700,000 fine paid by Arizona State University and tribal sanctions prohibiting research studies with ASU

Issues Identified through GENA®
Uses of specimens For research on a single disease (e.g., dedicated use of specimens only for cancer, heart disease, HIV)Specimens should not be used to create patents for drugs or devices
Some tribes have brokered agreements to have access to new patented drugs and devices

Issues Identified through GENA®
Research on topics of little to no interest to the tribal nation
Mitochondria DNA to trace roots to Africa of little to no interest to AI/ANsGenetic / specimen research on diabetes, substance abuse, mental conditions such as depression = high interest by many tribal Nations

Issues Identified through GENA®
Publication of genetic research findings without obtaining previous tribal approvals

Case Study Real Story: Strong Arm
When entering the lab where the students were doing their summer fellowship, an obnoxious worker from the next door lab kept hounding them to give him a blood specimen.Strong Arm said, “no” multiple times.After a few weeks of refusals, the obnoxious worker said, “we just want to get practice taking blood specimens so that my girlfriend can pass a test to be a phlebotomist.”

Real Story: Strong Arm
Strong Arm finally relented and said, “you can take my blood, but you cannot use it for anything else and you cannot store it.” The girlfriend who collected the blood specimen agreed it would not be used for anything
She was supposed to dispose of the residue

Drawbacks:Discrimination against tribal membersLack of access to quality care even though contributed to creating the body of knowledge

Drawbacks:Anecdotal information (phenotype) may not be linked to the biospecimenUnable to provide individual results back to participant (biospecimens are supposed to be anonymous

Making an Informed Choice
Active vs Passive Informed Consent Process“Active” means you have to say “yes” for your specimen or data to be included in the study“Passive” means you have to say “no” for your specimen or data to be excluded in the studyAlmost all AI/AN groups (through GENA®) were opposed to “passive” consent processes
Informed decision making: Questions to ask
Is it right for you and your community
Have I received enough and accurate information?
Are the risks explained
Do I have alternative choices
How is my privacy protected
These are components of an informed consent process

Tribal Nations and urban Indian programs differ in their opinions about biospecimens and biobanking
You need to understand if your tribal Nation has a formal position about taking part in biospecimen research
If you choose to take part, you have rights (informed decision-making)
