Abstract
The International Genetic Literacy and Attitudes Survey (iGLAS) has been developed to investigate what people know, think and feel about genetics. Initial findings indicate differences in genetic knowledge based on: gender, education level, religious affiliation and country of secondary education. Genetic knowledge predicts how people engage with personal genomics.
