The majority of both AA and non-AA participants were willing to participate in WGS studies and receive individual genetic results, but the fraction not interested in either was higher in AAs. This is not surprising [O'Daniel and Haga 2011] and, as our results suggest, partly reflects well-known lower levels of trust in biomedical research and access to clinical care in some AA communities [Corbie-Smith et al., 2002; LaVeist et al., 2000]. However, our results also identified several additional factors that may contribute to lower levels of interest.
