To assess consent rates and reasons for refusing consent after the introduction of peer navigators into the Outcomes of Babies With Opioid Exposure (OBOE) Study.
Secondary analysis of data from the OBOE Study, a multisite observational study.
Medical centers in Alabama, Ohio, and Pennsylvania (N = 4).
Data about the use of peer navigators were obtained from the primary study, including 1,255 mothers or caregivers who were approached regarding participation in the study.
We used χ tests to compare study consent rates and reasons for refusing consent before and after the use of peer navigators.
Following the addition of peer navigators, study consent rates significantly improved (29% of 852 before vs. 38% of 403 after; p = .001), and the percentage of potential participants who indicated that they were not interested in sharing information for research significantly decreased (41% of 247 vs. 26% of 115; p = .005).
We demonstrate the potential effect of peer navigators on consent and interest in sharing information for research in a longitudinal research study. We recommend the inclusion of peer navigators in studies with high-risk populations.
在引入同伴导航员参与阿片类药物暴露婴儿结局(OBOE)研究后,评估同意率及拒绝同意的原因。
对OBOE研究的数据进行二次分析,该研究为多中心观察性研究。
阿拉巴马州、俄亥俄州和宾夕法尼亚州的医疗中心(共4个)。
关于同伴导航员使用情况的数据来自原研究,包括1255名被邀请参与研究的母亲或照料者。
我们使用χ检验比较使用同伴导航员前后的研究同意率及拒绝同意的原因。
增加同伴导航员后,研究同意率显著提高(之前852人中的29%,之后403人中的38%;p = .001),表示对分享研究信息不感兴趣的潜在参与者比例显著下降(247人中的41%,115人中的26%;p = .005)。
我们证明了同伴导航员在一项纵向研究中对同意率及分享研究信息兴趣方面的潜在影响。我们建议在针对高危人群的研究中纳入同伴导航员。
