Abstract

Context: There are limited data in India, even more so in Manipur when it comes to assessing willingness to participate in biomedical research despite numerous ongoing research being conducted. This study will throw light on the willingness of the general population who we oftentimes ask to participate in biomedical research.

Aim: To assess the willingness to participate in biomedical research among the adult population of Bishnupur district, Manipur.

Settings and Design: A cross-sectional study was conducted among adults in Bishnupur district, Manipur during March 2023.

Methods and Material: Participants were selected using multistage random sampling with proportional allocation. Data were collected by interviewing the participants using pretested structured questionnaire.

Statistical analysis used: Descriptive statistics like mean with standard deviation and percentage were used. Chi-square test, Fisher Exact test and logistic regression were employed.

Results: There were 448 participants with mean age 42.71±13.74 years. Ninety-two percent previously participated in any form of biomedical research. Participants willing to participate in any biomedical research was 76.1%. Majority of respondents were willing to undergo physical examinations. Risk issue was the main reason for those not willing to participate. Those who had previous history of participation were ten times more likely to participate than those who had no previous participation in biomedical research.

Conclusions: The study showed that three-fourth of the general adult population in Bishnupur were willing to participate in any biomedical research.
