Precision medicine research recruitment poses challenges. To better understand factors impacting recruitment, this study assessed hypothetical willingness, public opinions of and familiarity with precision medicine research. Adult attendees (n = 942) at the 2017 Minnesota State Fair completed an electronic survey. Few respondents had heard of 'precision medicine' (18%), and familiarity came mostly from media (43%). Fifty-six percent expressed hypothetical willingness to participate in precision medicine research. Significant predictors of willingness were: comfort with unconditional research; perceiving precision medicine research as beneficial, trustworthy and confidential; having a graduate degree; comfort with self- but not family-participation; and familiarity with precision/personalized medicine. This study identified predictors of hypothetical willingness to participate in precision medicine research. Alternative recruitment strategies are needed.
精准医学研究招募面临挑战。为了更好地了解影响招募的因素,本研究评估了假设的参与意愿、公众对精准医学研究的看法和熟悉程度。2017 年明尼苏达州博览会上的成年与会者(n=942)完成了一项电子调查。很少有受访者听说过“精准医学”(18%),而且大多数人是从媒体(43%)上了解的。56%的受访者表示有意愿参与精准医学研究。意愿的显著预测因素有:对无条件研究的舒适度;认为精准医学研究有益、值得信赖和保密;拥有研究生学位;对自己参与而不是家人参与的舒适度;以及对精准/个性化医学的熟悉程度。本研究确定了参与精准医学研究的假设意愿的预测因素。需要采用替代的招募策略。
