Article Synopsis
- Medical research literacy (MRL) is a part of health literacy that reflects a person's grasp of informed consent and medical research participation.
- In a study involving 410 diverse survey respondents, it was found that younger and more educated individuals tend to have higher MRL scores, with no significant differences based on race or gender.
- Interestingly, higher MRL scores were linked to a lower likelihood of wanting to participate in clinical trials, highlighting the complexity of MRL and the need for further research on its measurement and its connection to socio-demographic factors in research participation.
