Abstract
Introduction: Understanding caregiver willingness to participate in pediatric clinical research is needed. We examined caregiver perceptions of pediatric clinical research during COVID-19 and examined research attitudes and sociodemographic factors as predictors of willingness.
Methods: A cross-sectional telephone survey was administered to caregivers of children from August 2020 to April 2021. We examined caregiver willingness to participate in the following research modalities during COVID-19: telehealth, in-person, and vaccine-focused.
Results: Participants included 600 caregivers (52.8% non-Hispanic White; Child Age M = 9.3 years; 50.0% from rural areas). Caregivers reported more willingness to participate in nonvaccine research (64.0% telehealth, 59.4% face-to-face) compared to vaccine research (22.1%). Different predictors were found for caregivers living in rural and nonrural areas and specific research attitudes predicted willingness.
Discussion: Caregiver willingness to participate in pediatric clinical research during COVID-19 differed by modality and research attitudes predicting willingness differed by geography. Surveillance regarding pediatric vaccine and clinical research hesitancy broadly should continue.
