Temporal Stability of Receptiveness to Clinical Research on Alzheimer Disease

The purpose of this study was to evaluate older adults' receptiveness to participation in Alzheimer’s-related clinical trials, neuroimaging studies, and psychosocial investigations, and whether that receptiveness changes over time. Patients were surveyed about their willingness to be contacted regarding such research studies twice, 1 year apart. At baseline, most respondents were willing to be contacted; at year 2, 37 percent of respondents voiced different preferences. Researchers concluded that openness to participating in Alzheimer’s clinical research is a relatively dynamic attribute that may be influenced by personal experience with research participation.
