Understanding brain donation decisions: Predictors of indecision and change over time from the Cleveland Alzheimer's Disease Research Center
Twenty-one percent of participants changed their brain donation program (BDP) enrollment status during the study. BDP enrollment changers were more often cognitively normal and had more study visits. Fewer years of education predicted switching BDP status from undecided to yes. BDP enrollment and change rates varied between interactions with site staff members.
