| Abstract: | Background. Data sharing and data reuse are important procedures in research academia to draw meta conclusions but are still not common practice yet. Trauma research is a field with a potentially vulnerable target population, in which data exchange proves to be of great importance. To facilitate and work on data exchange in such community, the willingness to share and reuse data of trauma researchers is investigated. Exploring the barriers is therefore an essential step towards collaborative research. Perceived effort is one of those challenges and is additionally with age two variables which are investigated in this paper. Moreover, it was investigated whether the association between perceived effort and data exchange is moderated by age. Methods. An online survey was conducted to investigate the willingness of data exchange among trauma researchers (N = 190). To test the hypotheses, simple and multiple linear regression analyses were performed. Results. This research found a positive significant relationship between data sharing and data reuse. Also, perceived effort proved to have a negative correlation with data sharing, as well as data reuse. However, the hypotheses that the association between perceived effort and data reuse and data sharing are moderated by age were found to be insignificant. Discussion. The findings are in line with previous research and give additional information on perceptions of data exchange by trauma researchers. This paper stresses the importance of further research in the field, to ensure the protection of at-risk groups in research. |
