ELSI issues surrounding the use and secondary use of bio-samples collected for stroke genomics research have not been fully explored in Africa. This study evaluated perspectives relating to use and re-use of donated bio-samples for stroke genomics research in Ghana/Nigeria. A cross sectional questionnaire survey was conducted among 986 stroke patients, 945 stroke caregivers and 1072 laypersons in 7 sites. Perception and attitude towards primary and secondary use of donated biosamples were explored. Mean ages of respondents were 59.79±17.4, 54.65±15.3 and 39.56 ±19.17 for stroke patient, stroke -free controls and community dwelling lay persons (CDLP) respectively. 56.1% of cases, 50.5% of controls and 49.7% of CDLP respectively were male. Majority of cases (84.8%), control (85.6%), and layperson (84.1%) agreed to the re-use of their donated biological specimens. Over half of cases (55.6%), controls (55.1%), and CDLP (54.3%) opined that there would be no need to re-contact them for consent for future use of their stored bio-samples. Willingness towards sample re-use was associated with living in rural setting (OR = 0.49, 95% CI = 0.34-0.72, p < 0.001), secondary education (OR = 1.71, 95% CI = 1.18-2.48, p =0.004), good genetic knowledge (OR = 1.94, 95% CI = 1.48-2.54, p< 0.001), good health-conscious behaviour (OR = 1.62, 95% CI = 1.10-2.39, p < 0.02). Conclusion- Majority agreed to secondary use of their donated bio-samples, without need to re-contact. Rural setting inversely associated while formal education, higher genetic knowledge and better health-conscious behaviour were directly associated with willingness towards sample re-use.
