The economic cost of drug, alcohol and tobacco abuse in the United States is more than $500 billion per year. Effective substance abuse prevention can yield major economic savings, with every $1 invested in prevention saving between $10-20 in treatment costs. Research shows preventive interventions are most economically beneficial when the condition is prevalent and costly, effective interventions exist, and intervention costs are low.

The document discusses rising healthcare costs in the US, especially for the aging population, and potential solutions. It notes that Medicare and Medicaid costs are unsustainable and many doctors do not accept those patients due to low reimbursement rates. Several solutions are proposed: 1) Reconsidering elder care options like home care instead of nursing homes could reduce costs while improving quality. 2) Using technology to deliver home-based care may improve financial outcomes. 3) Educating elders on healthy behaviors could reduce expensive chronic diseases. Overall, changes are needed to make elder care more efficient and reduce healthcare spending.

Introduction
Drug substance has been used rampantly especially in this current generation compared to the past (Zanky, 1989). Despite having health, social and unethical impacts to individuals and society at large, people are continually using them. This paper will be focussing specifically onto alcohol and tobacco. Alcohol is a drink that is in form of a liquid while tobacco is a substance that is consumed through sniffing. According to a research done by world health organization on drug and substance abuse, six million people die as a result of using tobacco while 2.5M people die from alcohol consumption.
However, people still consume it and the governments have not specifically made it illegal. Governments have come up with strategies to reduce alcohol and tobacco use especially among teenagers and low-income earners by increasing duty on them and consequently raise revenues. These revenues would be used to finance early childhood education on the dangerous effects of alcohol and tobacco use.

Running Head LITERATURE REVIEW2LITERATURE REVIEW 2.docx
This document discusses the effects of tobacco use. It notes that tobacco consumption peaks between ages 20-40 for both males and females, though males consume more. Smoking rates are higher for some minority groups than the national average. Tobacco use leads to diseases like cancer, heart disease, and addiction. While educating people on the harms of tobacco and making it less affordable can reduce use, tobacco has caused many deaths regardless of socioeconomic background. Lung cancer is a major cause of cancer deaths and is linked to tobacco consumption. Tobacco use also increases risks of other cancers and can damage blood vessels.

Me program funding youth impacts (to cdc rec) 11 19-10Maine Public Health Association Tobacco Policy Subcommittee and Friends of the FHM
Maine currently invests $9.9 million in tobacco prevention, but the CDC recommends $18.5 million. Increasing funding to the CDC level could reduce youth smoking rates by 9.2% and prevent 7,840 kids from becoming adult smokers and 2,500 kids from premature death from smoking. This would also reduce future healthcare costs by $137.2 million, including $38.9 million in reduced Medicaid spending.Fluoride presentation
This document discusses several public health issues and how geography influences political choices around them. It covers:
1) Community water fluoridation which reduced tooth decay by 50-70% in cities that implemented it. However, some debate individual choice vs collective good of this policy.
2) Smoking bans which aim to protect others from secondhand smoke but some argue it infringes on personal rights and could hurt businesses.
3) Air quality which affects everyone's health and varies by county. Pollution levels also rise in mountain valleys during winter temperature inversions.
4) Vaccination rates which are lower in some geographic clusters, increasing risk of disease outbreaks. The document examines recent mumps outbreaks

Introduction
In the recent past, concern and attention has been directed towards climate change, politics and the war on terrorism. The federal and state governments have shifted their focus and attention in trying to eradicate these national issues that have been affecting the world at large. The issue of climate change has brought about a lot of unwarranted effects on the climatic conditions experienced in the US and other countries (Brownson et al., 2018). Issues such as heat waves and floods arising from Hurricanes have been reported rapidly in the country. Thus, its justified for the authorities to concern themselves in trying to balance the climate from the effects brought about by human activities and practices.
This justification can also be extended to other emotive issues such as the war on terrorism and politics, which also affect the welfare of the people as well as the performance of their economy. Without a healthy population, the government will not be able to combat the war on terrorism successfully and neither will it be able to mitigate the environment against the ill effects of climate change. All in all, there is greater need for the federal and local governments to shift their focus on matters to do with public health and come up with scientific evidences necessary to reduce the already discovered medical conditions in the US (Brownson et al., 2018).
Thesis Statement
In this paper, I am going to highlight some study cases that have been conducted by researchers in different fields of medicine and show how the Federal and state governments have ignored the issue of public health. The paper will be discussing the medical conditions in the US that have been researched and documented, but the government is not giving them the attention it deserves. My point in the paper is that the US government has focused its attention and resources on national issues such as climate change and the war on terrorism and forgot to fund research on public health medical conditions that also area a national concern. I will be using scholarly articles to discuss the discovered medical conditions.
My argument is that public health is strategically centered in the achievement of developmental and sustainable goals by the national government. There are several studies that have been conducted to document some public health concerns that are affecting the human populations, animals and the environment. I sought to discuss some of the medical conditions through an overview of articles published to highlight the effects of these conditions on humans and the environment and what the authorities need to do in order to reduce or eliminate such public health concerns

Global Health Disparities - Presentation.pptx
This document discusses global health disparities and their causes. Socioeconomic factors directly correlate with unequal access to and quality of healthcare around the world. In many low and middle income countries, healthcare services and facilities are rarely available or insufficient, especially in rural areas. Discrimination also contributes to health disparities as some groups receive lower quality care or lack access to certain treatments. Potential solutions proposed include implementing universal healthcare, focusing on disease prevention, and reforming how healthcare is financed globally to improve equity.
MMS State of the State Conference: Susan Dentzer - Rationalizing Health Spend...
The document discusses challenges facing Massachusetts and the US in controlling rising healthcare costs. It notes that current spending growth rates threaten Massachusetts' reforms and the nation's fiscal health. Several key drivers of higher spending are identified, including new medical technologies, chronic diseases like obesity, and low productivity growth in the healthcare sector. Solutions proposed include reducing unnecessary variations in supply-sensitive care, payment reforms like bundled payments that incentivize quality over quantity, and policies to improve prevention and management of chronic conditions.
Strategic thinking in health care
This document discusses strategic issues facing the U.S. healthcare system. It argues that the U.S. does not have a functional competitive healthcare market, leading to higher costs, marginal quality improvements, and opportunistic innovation. It analyzes factors contributing to market failure and addiction to the growing healthcare economy. The document advocates for embracing concepts like consumerism, quality reporting, and globalization to increase competition and innovation in healthcare.

ATI Fact Sheet_FI and Medical Spending_Final
Functional impairment is a key driver of high medical spending for Medicare beneficiaries. Those with chronic conditions and functional impairment that requires assistance with daily activities have significantly higher annual per capita Medicare spending ($17,961) than those with chronic conditions alone ($7,228). Health plans and policymakers should recognize functional impairment as an important factor affecting costs and should support services that meet both medical and non-medical needs to better manage overall spending.
How Money Influences Healthcare
The United States spends more on healthcare than any other country but has poor health outcomes. Money influences the healthcare system in several ways. The system is fragmented with different providers and payers not sharing information, leading to duplicate tests and costs. A fee-for-service payment model incentivizes providers to see more patients and perform more procedures to increase payments. Lobbying by the pharmaceutical and insurance industries shapes healthcare policies and regulations in ways that prioritize profits over public health. Transforming how care is delivered, such as emphasizing prevention and plant-based diets, could reduce costs and improve health.
Cap 5. socioeconomic issues in medicine
This document discusses socioeconomic issues in medicine. It summarizes that:
1) While only 10% of premature deaths are due to inadequate medical care, 40% are due to unhealthy behaviors like smoking, excessive drinking, obesity, and imprudent sexual behaviors.
2) Lower socioeconomic status is associated with poorer health and higher mortality, due to factors like higher rates of unhealthy behaviors, stress, and lack of control over life circumstances among those of lower socioeconomic status.
3) The United States spends much more on health care than other countries, at over 17% of GDP currently, due to both supply factors, like expensive technologies and specialist care, and demand factors, like consumer appetite for new medical advances
Community Health Charities Introduction 2010
The document discusses the benefits of workplace wellness programs and charitable giving campaigns. It notes that over 133 million Americans have chronic illnesses, which account for 75% of healthcare spending. Workplace wellness programs have been shown to lower medical costs by $3.27 for every dollar spent and reduce absenteeism costs by $2.73 for every dollar spent. Such programs can improve employee health and productivity while reducing employers' healthcare costs.

The document summarizes the economic burden of alcohol consumption in San Francisco. It estimates that the total annual city administrative and programmatic costs related to alcohol abuse are $54.8 million. When considering broader economic costs, the total annual costs to San Francisco are estimated to be over $500 million. Excessive drinking is associated with a wide range of negative health outcomes and costs to both individuals and society. Reducing excessive alcohol consumption could help improve health and lower economic burdens.

issuebrief_SanchezGerald
Health care spending in the US is increasing and is projected to continue rising due to factors such as an aging population and increased prevalence of chronic diseases. The US currently spends over $2.8 trillion annually on health care, with 75% of that amount going towards treatment of chronic illnesses like cancer, diabetes, and heart disease. As baby boomers age, the population over 65 is growing rapidly and will account for 20% of the US population by 2030. Most elderly individuals have multiple chronic conditions, driving up costs. Chronic disease treatment is also more expensive than acute care since it requires long-term management. Increased spending on the top three chronic diseases alone is estimated to reach $846 billion. Policy solutions aim to better manage chronic

The document summarizes the Be-Above the Influence (BE-ATI) curriculum that was delivered to over 2,400 high school students in Albuquerque Public Schools. It discusses how the curriculum aims to reduce underage drinking by educating youth about the effects of alcohol on the developing brain. It also briefly profiles the partner organization SafeTeen New Mexico, describing it as a youth-driven nonprofit that creates programs on issues like underage drinking, drugs, and dating violence to educate over 5 million people since 2001.
2017 Evidence-based prevention national standards
Prevention programs should address risk and protective factors, tailor interventions to the specific risks and population, and enhance protective factors like family bonding. Effective programs provide parenting skills, teach families how to develop and enforce drug policies, and give parents drug education to discuss with their children. School-based programs can intervene early to address risk factors for drug abuse.

This document discusses the effects of tobacco use. It notes that tobacco consumption peaks between ages 20-40 for both males and females, though males consume more. Smoking rates are higher for some minority groups than the national average. Tobacco use leads to diseases like cancer, heart disease, and addiction. While educating people on the harms of tobacco and making it less affordable can reduce use, tobacco has caused many deaths regardless of socioeconomic background. Lung cancer is a major cause of cancer deaths and is linked to tobacco consumption. Tobacco use also increases risks of other cancers and can damage blood vessels.

Maine currently invests $9.9 million in tobacco prevention, but the CDC recommends $18.5 million. Increasing funding to the CDC level could reduce youth smoking rates by 9.2% and prevent 7,840 kids from becoming adult smokers and 2,500 kids from premature death from smoking. This would also reduce future healthcare costs by $137.2 million, including $38.9 million in reduced Medicaid spending.Fluoride presentation
This document discusses several public health issues and how geography influences political choices around them. It covers:
1) Community water fluoridation which reduced tooth decay by 50-70% in cities that implemented it. However, some debate individual choice vs collective good of this policy.
2) Smoking bans which aim to protect others from secondhand smoke but some argue it infringes on personal rights and could hurt businesses.
3) Air quality which affects everyone's health and varies by county. Pollution levels also rise in mountain valleys during winter temperature inversions.
4) Vaccination rates which are lower in some geographic clusters, increasing risk of disease outbreaks. The document examines recent mumps outbreaks

Introduction
In the recent past, concern and attention has been directed towards climate change, politics and the war on terrorism. The federal and state governments have shifted their focus and attention in trying to eradicate these national issues that have been affecting the world at large. The issue of climate change has brought about a lot of unwarranted effects on the climatic conditions experienced in the US and other countries (Brownson et al., 2018). Issues such as heat waves and floods arising from Hurricanes have been reported rapidly in the country. Thus, its justified for the authorities to concern themselves in trying to balance the climate from the effects brought about by human activities and practices.
This justification can also be extended to other emotive issues such as the war on terrorism and politics, which also affect the welfare of the people as well as the performance of their economy. Without a healthy population, the government will not be able to combat the war on terrorism successfully and neither will it be able to mitigate the environment against the ill effects of climate change. All in all, there is greater need for the federal and local governments to shift their focus on matters to do with public health and come up with scientific evidences necessary to reduce the already discovered medical conditions in the US (Brownson et al., 2018).
Thesis Statement
In this paper, I am going to highlight some study cases that have been conducted by researchers in different fields of medicine and show how the Federal and state governments have ignored the issue of public health. The paper will be discussing the medical conditions in the US that have been researched and documented, but the government is not giving them the attention it deserves. My point in the paper is that the US government has focused its attention and resources on national issues such as climate change and the war on terrorism and forgot to fund research on public health medical conditions that also area a national concern. I will be using scholarly articles to discuss the discovered medical conditions.
My argument is that public health is strategically centered in the achievement of developmental and sustainable goals by the national government. There are several studies that have been conducted to document some public health concerns that are affecting the human populations, animals and the environment. I sought to discuss some of the medical conditions through an overview of articles published to highlight the effects of these conditions on humans and the environment and what the authorities need to do in order to reduce or eliminate such public health concerns

Global Health Disparities - Presentation.pptx
This document discusses global health disparities and their causes. Socioeconomic factors directly correlate with unequal access to and quality of healthcare around the world. In many low and middle income countries, healthcare services and facilities are rarely available or insufficient, especially in rural areas. Discrimination also contributes to health disparities as some groups receive lower quality care or lack access to certain treatments. Potential solutions proposed include implementing universal healthcare, focusing on disease prevention, and reforming how healthcare is financed globally to improve equity.
MMS State of the State Conference: Susan Dentzer - Rationalizing Health Spend...
The document discusses challenges facing Massachusetts and the US in controlling rising healthcare costs. It notes that current spending growth rates threaten Massachusetts' reforms and the nation's fiscal health. Several key drivers of higher spending are identified, including new medical technologies, chronic diseases like obesity, and low productivity growth in the healthcare sector. Solutions proposed include reducing unnecessary variations in supply-sensitive care, payment reforms like bundled payments that incentivize quality over quantity, and policies to improve prevention and management of chronic conditions.
Strategic thinking in health care
This document discusses strategic issues facing the U.S. healthcare system. It argues that the U.S. does not have a functional competitive healthcare market, leading to higher costs, marginal quality improvements, and opportunistic innovation. It analyzes factors contributing to market failure and addiction to the growing healthcare economy. The document advocates for embracing concepts like consumerism, quality reporting, and globalization to increase competition and innovation in healthcare.
Why We Need Health Reform And Why It Is So Difficult Feb2010
Used for Medical Grand Rounds at several hospitals, this is data based comprehensive review of the shortcomings of the American Medical System and dysfunctional political attempts at reform. Single payer, Medicare for all, with elimination of for profit insurance companies is the best answer.
ATI Fact Sheet_FI and Medical Spending_Final
Functional impairment is a key driver of high medical spending for Medicare beneficiaries. Those with chronic conditions and functional impairment that requires assistance with daily activities have significantly higher annual per capita Medicare spending ($17,961) than those with chronic conditions alone ($7,228). Health plans and policymakers should recognize functional impairment as an important factor affecting costs and should support services that meet both medical and non-medical needs to better manage overall spending.
How Money Influences Healthcare
The United States spends more on healthcare than any other country but has poor health outcomes. Money influences the healthcare system in several ways. The system is fragmented with different providers and payers not sharing information, leading to duplicate tests and costs. A fee-for-service payment model incentivizes providers to see more patients and perform more procedures to increase payments. Lobbying by the pharmaceutical and insurance industries shapes healthcare policies and regulations in ways that prioritize profits over public health. Transforming how care is delivered, such as emphasizing prevention and plant-based diets, could reduce costs and improve health.
Cap 5. socioeconomic issues in medicine
This document discusses socioeconomic issues in medicine. It summarizes that:
1) While only 10% of premature deaths are due to inadequate medical care, 40% are due to unhealthy behaviors like smoking, excessive drinking, obesity, and imprudent sexual behaviors.
2) Lower socioeconomic status is associated with poorer health and higher mortality, due to factors like higher rates of unhealthy behaviors, stress, and lack of control over life circumstances among those of lower socioeconomic status.
3) The United States spends much more on health care than other countries, at over 17% of GDP currently, due to both supply factors, like expensive technologies and specialist care, and demand factors, like consumer appetite for new medical advances
Community Health Charities Introduction 2010
The document discusses the benefits of workplace wellness programs and charitable giving campaigns. It notes that over 133 million Americans have chronic illnesses, which account for 75% of healthcare spending. Workplace wellness programs have been shown to lower medical costs by $3.27 for every dollar spent and reduce absenteeism costs by $2.73 for every dollar spent. Such programs can improve employee health and productivity while reducing employers' healthcare costs.

The document summarizes the economic burden of alcohol consumption in San Francisco. It estimates that the total annual city administrative and programmatic costs related to alcohol abuse are $54.8 million. When considering broader economic costs, the total annual costs to San Francisco are estimated to be over $500 million. Excessive drinking is associated with a wide range of negative health outcomes and costs to both individuals and society. Reducing excessive alcohol consumption could help improve health and lower economic burdens.

issuebrief_SanchezGerald
Health care spending in the US is increasing and is projected to continue rising due to factors such as an aging population and increased prevalence of chronic diseases. The US currently spends over $2.8 trillion annually on health care, with 75% of that amount going towards treatment of chronic illnesses like cancer, diabetes, and heart disease. As baby boomers age, the population over 65 is growing rapidly and will account for 20% of the US population by 2030. Most elderly individuals have multiple chronic conditions, driving up costs. Chronic disease treatment is also more expensive than acute care since it requires long-term management. Increased spending on the top three chronic diseases alone is estimated to reach $846 billion. Policy solutions aim to better manage chronic

2017 Evidence-based prevention national standards
Prevention programs should address risk and protective factors, tailor interventions to the specific risks and population, and enhance protective factors like family bonding. Effective programs provide parenting skills, teach families how to develop and enforce drug policies, and give parents drug education to discuss with their children. School-based programs can intervene early to address risk factors for drug abuse.

Forum on investing in young children globally
FORUM ON INVESTING IN YOUNG
CHILDREN GLOBALLY OVERVIEW
In January 2014, the Board on Children, Youth, and Families of the
Institute of Medicine (IOM) and the National Research Council (NRC), in
collaboration with the IOM Board on Global Health, launched the Forum
on Investing in Young Children Globally (forum). At this meeting, the
participants agreed to focus on creating and sustaining, over 3 years, an
evidence-driven community of stakeholders that aims to explore existing,
new, and innovative science and research from around the world and
translate this evidence into sound and strategic investments in policies
and practices that will make a difference in the lives of children and their
caregivers.
Interventions for mental & substance use
Abstract
Approximately 20 percent of Americans are affected by mental health and substance use
disorders, which are associated with significant morbidity and mortality. While the evidence
base for the effectiveness of interventions to treat these disorders is sizable, a considerable gap
exists between what is known to be effective and interventions that are actually delivered in
clinical care. Addressing this quality chasm in mental health and substance use care is
particularly critical given the recent passage of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act
(ACA) and Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act, which are changing the delivery of
care and access to treatments for mental health and substance use disorders. Increasing
emphasis on accountability and performance measurement, moreover, will require strategies to
promote and measure the quality of psychosocial interventions.
In this report, the study committee develops a framework that can be used to chart a path
toward the ultimate goal of improving the outcomes of psychosocial interventions for those with
mental health and substance use disorders. This framework identifies the key steps entailed in
successfully bringing an evidence-based psychosocial intervention into clinical practice. It
highlights the need to (1) support research to strengthen the evidence base on the efficacy and
effectiveness of psychosocial interventions; (2) based on this evidence, identify the key elements
that drive an intervention’s effect; (3) conduct systematic reviews to inform clinical guidelines
that incorporate these key elements; (4) using the findings of these systematic reviews, develop
quality measures—measures of the structure, process, and outcomes of interventions; and
(5) establish methods for successfully implementing and sustaining these interventions in regular
practice including the training of providers of these interventions. The committee intends for this
framework to be an iterative one, with the results of the process being fed back into the evidence
base and the cycle beginning anew. Central to the framework is the importance of using the
consumer perspective to inform the process.
The recommendations offered in this report are intended to assist policy makers, health
care organizations, and payers that are organizing and overseeing the provision of care for
mental health and substance use disorders while navigating a new health care landscape. The
recommendations also target providers, professional societies, funding agencies, consumers, and
researchers, all of whom have a stake in ensuring that evidence-based, high-quality care is
provided to individuals receiving mental health and substance use services.

IOM BUILDING CAPACITY TO REDUCE BULLYING
This document provides an overview of a workshop on building capacity to reduce bullying. The workshop, organized by the Institute of Medicine and National Research Council, brought together representatives from different sectors involved in bullying prevention. Presenters discussed research on effective bullying prevention programs in schools, with peers, families, communities, and online. Student and school personnel panels also shared perspectives. The goal was to identify successful conceptual models and interventions, discuss how to increase protective factors for youth, and explore appropriate roles for different groups in prevention. Over 200 people participated via webcast. The workshop aimed to help address the substantial public health problem of bullying and close remaining knowledge gaps.
Iom building capacity to reduce bullying
Bullying—long tolerated as just a part of growing up—finally has been recognized as a substantial and preventable health problem. Bullying is associated with anxiety, depression, poor school performance, and future
delinquent behavior among its targets, and reports regularly surface of youth who have committed suicide at least in part because of intolerable bullying. Bullying can also have harmful effects on children who bully, on
bystanders, on school climates, and on society at large. Bullying can occur at all ages, from before elementary school to after high school. It can take the form of physical violence, verbal attacks, social isolation, spreading
rumors, or cyber bullying.
Increased concern about bullying has led 49 states and the District of Columbia to enact anti-bullying legislation since 1999. In addition, researchon the causes, consequences, and prevention of bullying has expanded greatly in recent decades. However, major gaps still exist in the understanding of bullying and of interventions that can prevent or mitigate the effectsof bullying.
This publication examines reviewed research on bullying
prevention and intervention efforts as well as efforts in related areas of research and practice, implemented in a range of contexts and settings, including
• Schools
• Peers
• Families
• Communities
• Laws and Public Policies
• Technology
Alcohol Prices Study nihms441745
This document analyzes the affordability of alcoholic beverages in the United States from 1950 to 2011. It finds that alcohol has become dramatically more affordable over this period due to declines in real prices. The percentage of mean disposable income required to purchase one drink per day of the cheapest spirits brand fell from 4.46% in 1950 to 0.29% in 2011. Affordability of popular beer and wine brands also increased substantially. Reduced federal and state alcohol tax rates, which were not adjusted for inflation, were a major driver of the declines in real prices and increases in affordability. Higher and indexed tax rates could help mitigate further declines in prices and increases in affordability.
Financing population health improvement IOM
Despite spending far more on medical care than any other nation and despite having seen a century of unparalleled improvement in population health and longevity, the United States has fallen behind many of its global counterparts and competitors in such health outcomes as overall life expectancy and rates of preventable diseases and
injuries.
A fundamental but often overlooked driver of the imbalance
between spending and outcomes is the nation’s inadequate investment in nonclinical strategies that promote health and prevent disease and injury population-wide, strategies that fall under the rubric of “population
health.
Business engagement in building healthy communities
Businesses across the nation are involved in every aspect of their communities and the economy and can be powerful partners in terms of improving the health of the nation, said George Isham, a senior advisor at HealthPartners, Inc., a senior fellow at the HealthPartners Institute for Education and Research, and a co-chair of the Institute of Medicine (IOM) Roundtable on Population Health Improvement. On July 30, 2014, the IOM roundtable held a workshop at the New York Academy of Medicine (NYAM) in New York City to consider the role of business in improving population health beyond the usual worksite wellness and health promotion activities.
In welcoming participants to NYAM, the academy’s president, Jo Ivey Boufford, said that economic development is a crucial factor in achieving population health and that there are many opportunities to create win–win situations for business to promote population health in the communities where they live and serve. She added that in New York State business has been a fundamental
part of a large, multi-stakeholder group that is implementing a prevention agenda for the state and helping communities to identify and address priority needs.
Promising and best practices in total worker health
Combined with the more traditional employer occupational safety and health protection activities are newer employment-based programs to promote better health through helping workers quit smoking, lose weight, reduce stress, or exercise more regularly. In support of these efforts, some employers have made changes in their policies and facilities to support physical activity and healthier eating, and some employers connect with ommunity resources for health education, health fairs, and
other services. From company to company, the interest in, resources for, and ability to do more for employee health and well-being vary. Employees’ interest in, needs for, and priorities for these types of programs also vary.

PGx Analysis in VarSeq: A User’s Perspective
Since our release of the PGx capabilities in VarSeq, we’ve had a few months to gather some insights from various use cases. Some users approach PGx workflows by means of array genotyping or what seems to be a growing trend of adding the star allele calling to the existing NGS pipeline for whole genome data. Luckily, both approaches are supported with the VarSeq software platform. The genotyping method being used will also dictate what the scope of the tertiary analysis will be. For example, are your PGx reports a standalone pipeline or would your lab’s goal be to handle a dual-purpose workflow and report on PGx + Diagnostic findings.
The purpose of this webcast is to:
Discuss and demonstrate the approaches with array and NGS genotyping methods for star allele calling to prep for downstream analysis.
Following genotyping, explore alternative tertiary workflow concepts in VarSeq to handle PGx reporting.
Moreover, we will include insights users will need to consider when validating their PGx workflow for all possible star alleles and options you have for automating your PGx analysis for large number of samples. Please join us for a session dedicated to the application of star allele genotyping and subsequent PGx workflows in our VarSeq software.
