Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Enrollment in therapeutic cancer trials remains low, and is especially challenging for patients with low health literacy. The purpose of this project is to pilot a multi-media technology intervention designed for patients with diverse health literacy skills with the aim of improving patient receptiveness, willingness, knowledge, self-efficacy, and positive attitudes regarding clinical trials. The intervention is comprised of multi-media touchscreen computer program components for clinical trial education and assessment of patient-reported outcomes. Patients presenting for their first oncology appointment were eligible. Patients viewed an interactive teaching video concerning clinical trials that was adapted from the National Institutes of Health. Validated surveys assessing receptiveness, willingness, knowledge, self-efficacy, and positive attitudes regarding clinical trials were administered before and after the test.
