Willingness of population health survey participants to provide personal health information and biological samples by Harpreet Jaswal, Anca Ialomiteanu, Hayley Hamilton, Jürgen Rehm, Samantha Wells, Kevin D. Shield

“…Similarly, respondents were more likely to be willing to allow for probabilistic data linkage when this question was asked first compared to first being asked for a saliva sample. Conclusion A lack of willingness to provide biological samples or permit data linkage may lead to representivity issues in studies which rely on such information. …”
