Barriers and Facilitators to Participating in Alzheimer’s Disease Biomarker Research in Black and White Older Adults

This qualitative study explores Black and White prospective participants’ views of barriers and facilitators to participation in Alzheimer’s disease biomarker research. Results suggest that the research community needs to improve information sharing and raising awareness, increase their presence in the communities of underrepresented groups, reduce incidental costs, and provide valuable personal health information to participants to increase interest.
