DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Our primary goal in this proposed project is to examine and elucidate the ethical, legal and social implications of the use of drug addiction genetic information in criminal justice settings; our secondary goal is to provide related, needs-specific training, materials and resources to a stakeholder group comprised of criminal justice professionals. The project consists of four specific aims: 1) Assess the current state of law and ethics pertaining to illicit drug addiction screening, testing and treatment, and evaluate the prospects for the use of drug addiction genetic information in criminal justice settings; 2) Measure current knowledge and information needs among criminal justice professionals regarding drug addiction science, including genetics; 3) Convene and host a special advisory panel and stakeholder conference to present, review and discuss points to consider regarding the ethical, legal and social implications of the use of drug addiction genetic information in criminal justice settings; and 4) Develop, disseminate and evaluate educational, resource and reference materials regarding the use of drug addiction genetic information in criminal justice settings. The proposed project is responsive to the area of interest 4 under the program announcement pertaining to studies of the implications of the use of genetic liability to drug abuse and the use of such information in criminal justice settings, including studies about how such information might be used, public attitudes about such use, the interface of such use with concepts of privacy and responsibility, and existing legal protections that might pertain to such use. The project builds upon the project team members' past collaborations and experience with criminal justice systems, genetics and drug abuse research, and cross-disciplinary professional and bioethics education. External oversight is provided by an advisory panel comprised of distinguished leaders and experts with interests in the field.

描述（由申请人提供）：我们在拟议项目中的主要目标是检查和阐明在刑事司法环境中使用药物成瘾遗传信息的道德，法律和社会影响；我们的次要目标是向由刑事司法专业人士组成的利益相关者团体提供相关，特定需求的培训，材料和资源。该项目由四个具体目的组成：1）评估与非法药物成瘾，测试和治疗有关的当前法律和道德规范，并评估在刑事司法环境中使用药物成瘾遗传信息的前景； 2）衡量刑事司法专业人员在包括遗传学在内的药物成瘾科学方面的当前知识和信息需求； 3）召集和主持一个特别的咨询小组和利益相关者会议，以介绍，审查和讨论有关在刑事司法环境中使用药物成瘾遗传信息的道德，法律和社会影响的要点； 4）开发，传播和评估有关在刑事司法环境中使用药物成瘾遗传信息的教育，资源和参考材料。在计划公告下，该项目对感兴趣领域的响应敏感，这与研究遗传责任对药物滥用的含义以及在刑事司法环境中使用此类信息的含义有关，包括有关如何使用此类信息的研究，公众对此类使用的态度，对这种使用的概念和责任的概念以及现有法律保护的界面，以及可能使用此类信息。该项目建立在项目团队成员过去的合作以及与刑事司法系统，遗传学和药物滥用研究以及跨学科专业和生物伦理学教育的经验上。外部监督由咨询小组提供，该咨询小组由杰出的领导者和对该领域有兴趣的专家组成。
