PURPOSE Genetic advances mean patients at risk of genetic conditions can be helped through testing, clinical screening, and preventive treatment, but they must first be identified to benefit. Ensuring quality of genetic care for patients requires genetic expertise in all health services, including primary care. To address an educational shortfall, a series of e-learning resources was developed in six languages to equip primary care professionals with genetic skills relevant for practice. The purpose of the study was to evaluate these resources using Kirkpatrick's framework for educational outcomes. METHODS Mixed methods (qualitative and quantitative) were used over four phases of the study. RESULTS A high level of satisfaction with the resources was reported. Knowledge and skills improved significantly after using the education material. Participants reported changes in confidence and practice behavior, including family history taking, seeking advice from specialists and referring patients. The resources helped users to learn how to explain genetics. Many visited the resources repeatedly and some used them to educate colleagues or students. CONCLUSION Gen-Equip modules are effective in improving genetic knowledge, skills, and attitudes for primary care professionals. They provide both continuing professional development and just-in-time learning for a potentially large global audience at a practical level.

Gen-Equip 项目：以六种欧洲语言评估和影响初级保健的遗传学电子学习资源。

目的 遗传进步意味着有遗传疾病风险的患者可以通过检测、临床筛查和预防性治疗获得帮助，但必须首先确定他们是否受益。确保患者遗传护理的质量需要所有卫生服务的遗传专业知识，包括初级保健。为了解决教育不足的问题，我们开发了一系列六种语言的电子学习资源，为初级保健专业人员提供与实践相关的遗传技能。该研究的目的是使用柯克帕特里克的教育成果框架评估这些资源。方法 混合方法（定性和定量）用于研究的四个阶段。结果 对资源的满意度很高。使用教材后，知识和技能显着提高。参与者报告了信心和实践行为的变化，包括家族史采集、向专家寻求建议和转诊患者。这些资源帮助用户学习如何解释遗传学。许多人反复访问这些资源，有些人用它们来教育同事或学生。结论 Gen-Equip 模块可有效提高初级保健专业人员的遗传知识、技能和态度。它们在实践层面为潜在的大量全球受众提供持续的专业发展和即时学习。许多人反复访问这些资源，有些人用它们来教育同事或学生。结论 Gen-Equip 模块可有效提高初级保健专业人员的遗传知识、技能和态度。它们在实践层面为潜在的大量全球受众提供持续的专业发展和即时学习。许多人反复访问这些资源，有些人用它们来教育同事或学生。结论 Gen-Equip 模块可有效提高初级保健专业人员的遗传知识、技能和态度。它们在实践层面为潜在的大量全球受众提供持续的专业发展和即时学习。
