| Annotation | To identify factors influencing willingness to participate (WTP) in clinical gerontological research, a questionnaire containing descriptions of seven research projects with a corresponding set of questions about perceived intrusiveness (discomfort and inconvenience), payment, and other incentive factors was sent to 1004 community-dwelling research subject registry members. There was an inverse relationship between perceived level of intrusiveness and WTP. The more intrusive the study, the greater the relative influence of a payment on WTP. Male gender and a new experience with an opportunity to learn were independently related to WTP. Factor analysis of perceived intrusiveness ratings led to a Level of Intrusiveness Scale. Although prospective validation is necessary, this scale may be useful in predicting WTP, and determining when other incentives are needed to improve subject recruitment for clinical research. |
