The persistent barriers contributing to low participation include mistrust, lack of information, cultural differences, and access issues. An understanding of the factors influencing willingness to participate across various types of research is important to improving participation and ensuring diverse, representative participation in health research.  \nMethods: The study utilized data collected through the Florida Statewide Registry for Aging Studies (FSRAS), which included 481 participants aged 25 years and older.
