Abstract

Aim: This study aimed to determine knowledge and attitudes toward induced pluripotent stem cell technology and biobanking. Methods: A survey instrument was developed to determine individuals’ knowledge of and attitudes toward these technologies. Results: Results from 276 ethnically diverse participants who took the online survey demonstrated significant associations (p ≤ 0. 05) in knowledge by ethnicity and race regarding properties of stem cells, different types of stem cells and previous sample donation behavior. Significantly more Whites 39% (n = 53) compared with Blacks or African–Americans 19.2% (n = 14) had previous knowledge of induced pluripotent stem cells (χ2 = 8.544; p = 0.003) Conclusion: Overall, White race was associated with greater knowledge about stem cells and biobanks and greater willingness to donate samples for future research.
