Best Practices for Obtaining Genomic Consent in Pediatric Traumatic Brain Injury Research.

Background: Precision health relies on large sample sizes to ensure adequate power, generalizability, and replicability; however, a critical first step to any study is the successful recruitment of participants.

Objectives: This study seeks to explore how the enrollment strategies used in a parent study contributed to the high consent rates, establish current best practices that can be used in future studies, and identify additional factors that contribute to consent into pediatric traumatic brain injury biobanks.

Methods: Retrospective secondary analysis of data from a parent study with high consent rates was examined to explore factors affecting consent into biobanking studies.
