Factors influencing participation in stroke recovery research with a focus on diversity considerations: A randomized survey study
Agreement across both stages of the consent process was high, though racialized individuals were less likely to agree to initial RC. While some subgroup differences emerged, our findings support universally inclusive, trust-building, and culturally responsive recruitment approaches, particularly at first contact, while remaining attentive to subgroup differences in perceived risks and benefits.
