Abstract

The lack of diversity in genomic studies is a disparity that influences our understanding of human genomic variation and threatens equity in the benefits of precision medicine. Given our current genomic research with Black older adults, we conducted a qualitative study to elucidate participants' knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs about genomic research and research participation and what factors contribute to their willingness to participate and to gain insights into barriers that researchers may have in recruiting Black Americans. We conducted semistructured interviews (N=16) with previous genomic research participants, and an inductive thematic approach was used to code and interpret the data. The mean age was 70, 82% reported <$15,000 annual income, and 100% participated in genomic research. The results note that genomic research is poorly understood despite participation in prior genomic studies, and cultural beliefs about health and managing health impact an individual's research participation. Although not all participants identified with historical distrust, those who did report health system distrust also contributed distrust in research. Relationship building facilitates research participation, especially when perceived as personally relevant and meaningful. Participant incentives and convenience to engage in the study are less important if the personal benefits or relevance of the research are clear. Our results provide new context into the importance of relationship building and research literacy and highlight new considerations for engaging racially diverse populations in research.

"我来是因为我看到你们关心我":招募老年美国黑人参与基因组研究。
基因组研究中缺乏多样性是一个影响我们对人类基因组变异的理解并威胁到精准医学的公平性的差距。鉴于我们目前对黑人老年人进行的基因组研究,我们进行了一项定性研究,以阐明参与者对基因组研究和研究参与的认识、态度和信念,以及哪些因素促使他们愿意参与,并深入了解研究人员在招募美国黑人时可能遇到的障碍。我们对以往的基因组研究参与者进行了半结构式访谈(16 人),并采用归纳式主题方法对数据进行编码和解释。参与者的平均年龄为 70 岁,82% 表示

期刊介绍: Ethnicity & Disease is an international journal that exclusively publishes information on the causal and associative relationships in the etiology of common illnesses through the study of ethnic patterns of disease. Topics focus on: ethnic differentials in disease rates;impact of migration on health status; social and ethnic factors related to health care access and health; and metabolic epidemiology. A major priority of the journal is to provide a forum for exchange between the United States and the developing countries of Europe, Africa, Asia, and Latin America.
