Exploring the impact of COVID-19 on the willingness of older adults to participate in physiology research: views from past and potential volunteers
We explored the views of older (≥65 years) past and potential volunteers in regard to participating in physiology research during the COVID-19 pandemic. Using an online questionnaire and focus groups, we found that past volunteers (n = 55) were more likely to take part in both acute (p < 0.05) and chronic (p < 0.05) physiology studies, compared with potential future volunteers (n = 57). Both cohorts demonstrated a positive attitude towards volunteering during the COVID-19 pandemic, although concern was evident.
Novelty: •Volunteers demonstrated a positive attitude and also concern towards participating in physiology research during COVID-19
