Assessing Motivation for Engaging in an Alzheimer's Disease Research Registry
Our findings suggest that both altruism (e.g., advancing research) and personal benefit (e.g., access to advice and expertise) were strong motivators for engaging in research. Preliminary results suggest potential differences in motivations for research that may be influenced in part by social factors; these differences may inform more tailored and meaningful recruitment strategies for ADRD research. Future research may also consider whether motivations to participate in research vary by cognitive or socioeconomic status.
