Understanding Challenges, Behavioral Patterns, and Preferences Toward Participation in Clinical Trials in Minority Patient Populations: Development of a Personalized Clinical Trial Educational Platform to Increase Participation in Clinical Trials Among Underserved Cancer Patients

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To understand and document patient preferences, understanding, and attitudes regarding clinical trials. II. To compare patient attitudes regarding clinical trials among cancer patients belonging to different racial/ethnic groups. III. To establish the magnitude of existing knowledge gap relating to clinical trials among underserved cancer patients and the extent of improvement with a personalized educational approach. IV. To determine how a personalized educational approach impacts enrollment in clinical trials of underserved cancer patients. OUTLINE: PART I: Patients complete a questionnaire about their preferences, understanding, and attitudes regarding clinical trials. Patients also have their medical records reviewed. PART II: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 arms. ARM A: Patients undergo clinical trial education via a video and educational booklet and then standard of care follow-up on study. ARM B: Patients undergo clinical trial education via a video and educational booklet and then undergo patient navigation with active clinical trial matching and receive clinical trial information through the electronic medical record portal on study.
