Predictors of Willingness to Enroll in Hypothetical Alzheimer Disease Biomarker Studies that Disclose Personal Results.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

We examined factors related to willingness to enroll in hypothetical Alzheimer disease (AD) biomarker studies.

Methods

Using linear regression, we assessed the relationship among enrollment willingness and demographics, family dementia history, research attitudes, concern about AD, experiences of discrimination, and belief in AD risk modifiability. Inductive coding was used to assess qualitative data.

Results

In middle-aged and older adult AD research participants (n=334), willingness to enroll in biomarker studies was driven by biomarker collection method, research attitudes, and disclosure of personal results. Predictors of willingness were similar for Black and White participants. Themes associated with increased willingness included a desire to learn
