Racial minority groups are often underrepresented in biobehavioral research. Mistrust stemming from historic abuses of minority research participants is one explanation for this problem. Although mistrust and other variables affect dispositions toward research, brief, quantitative measures of these factors have not been available to researchers in assessing potential recruitment barriers. The present paper is a description and psychometric examination of the Barriers to Research Participation Questionnaire (BRPQ), a new survey designed to assess five factors that affect research participation (religious beliefs, mistrust, health-related fears/beliefs, role overload/ time demands, and perceived personal and community benefits). Good model-fit for the proposed five-factor structure and good test-retest reliability were observed among African American undergraduate men and women at an urban, primarily African American university. The BRPQ appears to be a reliable and valid tool for researchers to use in identifying barriers to recruiting African American participants.

种族少数群体在生物行为研究中的代表性通常不足。少数族裔研究参与者的历史虐待引起的不信任是对这个问题的一种解释。尽管不信任和其他变量会影响对研究的态度,但研究人员在评估潜在的招聘障碍时,还没有对这些因素进行简短的定量测量。本文是对研究参与障碍问卷 (BRPQ) 的描述和心理测验,这是一项新的调查,旨在评估影响研究参与的五个因素 (宗教信仰,不信任,与健康相关的恐惧/信念,角色超负荷/时间需求,以及感知的个人和社区利益)。在城市大学 (主要是非裔美国大学) 的非裔美国人本科生中,观察到建议的五因素结构的良好模型拟合性和良好的重测信度。BRPQ似乎是研究人员用来识别招募非裔美国人参与者的障碍的可靠且有效的工具。
