PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT From the passage of the first US state sterilization law in Indiana in 1907 until the 1970s, approximately 60,000 people were sterilized based on eugenic criteria designed to limit the reproduction of the “unfit”. The study team’s extended analyses of 31,000 sterilization records in four states (California, North Carolina, Iowa, and Michigan) have shed new light on the scope and impact of state eugenics laws, underscoring their discriminatory effects on Latina/o men and women, Asian immigrants, Black women, Native Americans, young people, and people deemed “feebleminded”. The investigators have developed robust mixed-methods analytic processes to merge rigorous quantitative methods with in-depth qualitative analyses to underscore the unique lived experiences of the thousands of people affected by these policies, especially with regard to coercion in the legal and consent processes employed by each state. This proposed renewal application extends ongoing epidemiologic and historical analysis of eugenic sterilization data, focusing on differences in the application of eugenic sterilization laws across states, and changes over time in the population groups most affected by sterilization. The investigators will add data on over 700 people considered for eugenic sterilization in Utah, making the project more regionally representative and expanding the dataset to include information on over 32,000 people in five states. The investigators will continue to describe patterns of sterilization in five states according to gender, age, ethnicity, nationality, diagnosis, consent process, time period and geography. They use population denominators derived from US Census data to estimate population-based sterilization rates to formally compare demographic patterns in sterilization across states and over time. The investigators will also continue to innovate mixed-methods approaches to generate a richer understanding of the experiences of 32,000 people sterilized during the eugenics era. The proposed project intersects with numerous ethical, legal, and social issues in human genomics, providing new scholarly knowledge about the ways in which a particular variant of genetic determinism resulted in the widespread state-mandated deprivation of reproductive capacity. It aligns with key portions of NHGRI’s Strategic Vision, including understanding the implications of applying genomics in non-medical realms such as law enforcement, and the implications of studying genetic associations with bio-behavioral traits such as intelligence or social status. The unique quantitative and qualitative data sources present opportunities to build an extended chronological understanding of the transmutation of eugenic ideas throughout the 20th century.

项目概要/摘要 从 1907 年美国印第安纳州通过第一部绝育法到 20 世纪 70 年代，大约 60,000 该研究根据旨在限制“不适合”的繁殖的优生标准对人们进行绝育。 该团队对四个州（加利福尼亚州、北卡罗来纳州、爱荷华州和 密歇根州）对州优生法的范围和影响有了新的认识，强调了它们的 对拉丁裔男女、亚洲移民、黑人妇女、美洲原住民、年轻人的歧视性影响 调查人员开发了强大的混合方法分析。 将严格的定量方法与深入的定性分析相结合的过程，以强调独特的 受这些政策影响的数千人的生活经历，特别是在强迫政策方面 每个州采用的法律和同意程序。 这项拟议的更新申请扩展了正在进行的优生学流行病学和历史分析 绝育数据，重点关注各州优生绝育法应用的差异，以及 受绝育影响最严重的人群随时间的变化研究人员将添加相关数据。 犹他州超过 700 人考虑进行优生绝育，使该项目更具区域代表性 并扩展数据集以包含五个州超过 32,000 人的信息。 调查人员将继续根据性别、年龄、性别等描述五个州的绝育模式。 他们使用人口、种族、国籍、诊断、同意程序、时间段和地理位置。 来自美国人口普查数据的分母，用于估计基于人口的绝育率，以正式 研究人员还将继续比较各州和一段时间内绝育的人口模式。 创新混合方法，更丰富地了解 32,000 人的经历 人们在优生学时代被绝育。 拟议的项目涉及人类基因组学中的许多伦理、法律和社会问题，提供了 关于遗传决定论的特定变体如何导致 它与 NHGRI 的关键部分一致。 战略愿景，包括了解在非医学领域应用基因组学的影响，例如 执法，以及研究遗传与生物行为特征的影响，例如 独特的定量和定性数据源提供了构建的机会。 对整个 20 世纪优生思想演变的扩展时间顺序理解。
