Most parents were supportive of GenV, with very few (< 10 per cent) negative responses. Those who felt most positive were motivated by benefits for themselves and others and by contributing to public good research. Areas of some sensitivity included data security, privacy and confidentiality, and the collection and use of biosamples. Providing information about both the benefits and perceived risks of GenV will be important to enable parents to make informed choices to take part in GenV itself.
