Motivators and barriers to research participation for individuals with cerebral palsy and their families.

Overall, we encourage the involvement of stakeholders affected by cerebral palsy in the research process. Researchers should consider offering flexible study times, accommodating locations, and compensation for time and travel expenses. We recommend a minimum compensation of $15/hour and a maximum time commitment of 4 hours/day to respect participants' time and increase likelihood of research participation. Future studies should track how attitudes toward research change with time and experience.
