Willingness to Be a Brain Donor: A Survey of Research Volunteers From 4 Racial/Ethnic Groups.

Introduction: Racial and ethnic groups are under-represented among research subjects who assent to brain donation in Alzheimer disease research studies. There has been little research on this important topic. Although there are some studies that have investigated the barriers to brain donation among African American study volunteers, there is no known research on the factors that influence whether or not Asians or Latinos are willing to donate their brains for research.
