DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): With the growing importance of biobank research, concerns have been raised about how to protect the interests of donors. The current ethics framework mainly focuses on protecting against risks to donors' welfare and to their privacy. However, there has been little systematic empirical, normative, or policy focus on the non-welfare interests of donors, i.e., concerns about the moral, societal, or religious implications of research using their donation that may affect their willingness to donate. Although important theoretical discussions, mentions in commission reports, and insights from several qualitative studies have drawn attention to the serious nature of these interests, we lack important data for policy development: (1) systematic data on the nature and extent of potential impact of non-welfare interests and (2) high quality (i.e., informed and considered) policy preferences of the public addressing how to balance these non-welfare interests with the promise of biobank research. Our project will fill these gaps with two complementary projects. First, a national survey will assess the contours of the potential impact of non-welfare interests on biobank research, by addressing: what kinds of non-welfare interests substantially affect willingness to donate biological materials?; how common are these interests?; how much do donors want to know about the potential involvement of such non-welfare interests when donating?; how are non-welfare interests affected by such factors as race or ethnicity, socioeconomic status, trust in medical research, religious beliefs and practice, or political orientation? Second, we will obtain considered, informed judgments of the public regarding how to handle the tension between the public good of biobanks and the conflicting non-welfare interests of potential donors, using a democratic deliberation method in which subjects will attend an all-day education and peer deliberation session. The impact of the deliberation will be validated using a randomized, experimental design. In summary, despite the ethical significance of non-welfare interests for biobank research, there is a paucity of systematic data regarding both their potential impact and the potential policy solutions. This project will provide a highly generalizable assessment of the potential impact of non-welfare interests as well as policy recommendations based on informed, deliberative opinions of the general public.

描述（由申请人提供）：随着生物库研究的重要性，人们对如何保护捐助者的利益引起了人们的关注。当前的道德框架主要集中于保护捐助者福利及其隐私的风险。但是，几乎没有系统的经验，规范或政策关注捐助者的非福利利益，即对道德，社会或宗教含义的担忧 使用他们的捐赠进行研究，可能会影响他们捐款的意愿。尽管重要的理论讨论，委员会报告中的提及以及一些定性研究的见解引起了人们对这些利益的严重性质的关注，但我们缺乏对政策制定的重要数据：（1）关于非福利利益的潜在影响的性质和程度的系统数据，以及（2）高质量的高质量（即知情，并考虑到）与Bi的政策偏好与非素养的态度相平衡。 我们的项目将通过两个补充项目填补这些空白。首先，一项全国调查将通过解决：哪些非福利利益对非福利利益对生物库研究的潜在影响的轮廓，这极大地影响了捐赠生物材料的意愿？这些利益有多普遍？捐赠者捐款时这种非福利利益的潜在参与有多少？非福利利益如何受到种族或种族，社会经济地位，信任等因素的影响 医学研究，宗教信仰和实践或政治取向？其次，我们将使用民主审议方法来理解公众对公众的张力与潜在捐助者的矛盾非福利利益之间的紧张关系，其中受试者将参加全天的教育和同伴审议。审议的影响将使用随机，实验设计进行验证。 总而言之，尽管非福利利益对生物库研究具有道德意义，但关于其潜在影响和潜在政策解决方案的系统数据仍然很少。该项目将对非福利利益的潜在影响以及基于知情，公众的审议意见的政策建议提供高度概括的评估。
