Against this backdrop of conceptual and methodological issues, there has been growing controversy concerning cGxE approaches and their interpretation (Duncan & Keller, 2011; Eaves & Verhulst, 2014). There is no single solution; however, our goal here is to provide some recommendations for moving this area of research forward. We view these as the core issues of which family researchers and journal readers, reviewers, and editors should be cognizant when incorporating genetic data into their studies or evaluating research that includes a measured genetic component. We refer interested readers to an extended discussion of resources and recommendations for navigating this complex area in Dick et al.’s (in press) article. In addition, in collaboration with the National Institutes of Health’s Office of Behavioral and Social Science Research, our group has developed a website to assist investigators with conducting cGxE studies. This will be available soon through the Office for Behavioral and Social Science Research’s website (http://obssr.od.nih.gov/index.aspx).
