| Abstract |
Health research participation of racial and ethnic minorities is significantly lower than their counterparts, impeding the testing and development of evidence based clinical and public health interventions for these populations. The purpose of this study was to determine African-Americans' (AAs) perceptions about health research, past participation in health research, and willingness to participate in health research studies compared to White adults from a large socio-economically disadvantaged population. Community members ages 18 years or older enrolled in HealthStreet, an innovative community engagement research program comprised the source of study population. A total of 7809 community members (58.6% females) participated in the study with 65.8% AAs and 34.2% Whites. AAs were statistically significantly less likely to have previously participated in a research study, be willing to volunteer for any type of health research study, or to trust research or researchers compared to Whites. AAs also desired significantly higher compensation amounts to participate compared with Whites adults. In logistic regression analysis, education, age, gender, visits to healthcare practitioners and facilities were statistically significant predictors for AAs participation in health research. Keeping in view the findings of our study, clinical and public health researchers and practitioners should use special recruitment and retention strategies to increase the participation of AAs in health research studies. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 42. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 06 June 2022.
All research outputs
#889,152
of 23,867,274 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Immigrant and Minority Health
#35
of 1,261 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#21,186
of 332,657 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Immigrant and Minority Health
#1
of 24 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,867,274 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 96th percentile: it's in the top 5% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,261 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 8.2. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 97% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 332,657 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 93% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 24 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 95% of its contemporaries.
