A new study has found that trust in researchers is the strongest factor influencing whether older adults are willing to participate in Alzheimer’s disease and related dementia (ADRD) biomarker research. In a survey of 399 older adults with no previous research involvement, those who expressed very high trust were significantly less hesitant to take part in studies, even after accounting for differences in age, education, race and knowledge of ADRD.
