An ad hoc committee will plan and conduct a public workshop that will examine the ethical, legal, social, and policy issues associated with the access to, use and storage of dried blood spot samples from newborn screening tests. An array of stakeholder perspectives, e.g. parents/guardians, providers, and policy makers, will be included in this activity. The workshop will feature invited presentations and discussions to rigorously examine the benefits and risks associated with this topic. The goal of the workshop will be to illustrate the important issues surrounding newborn screening sample collection and handling in order to help advance discussions among policymakers and the broader public. An individually-authored summary of the workshop will be prepared by a designated rapporteur in accordance with institutional policy and procedures.
