AVI Didactic Experience for Latinx Patient Treatment Adherence and Non-English Speaker Trial Enrollment Study in Rad Onc

Research suggests that utilization of audiovisual educational interventions may help to address health literacy and language barriers as well as suboptimal outcomes and trial enrollment in minority and/or non-English speaking patients. However, this has yet to be demonstrated in the radiation oncology setting, in which educational material is limited to written brochures for non-English speaking patients. Herein, the investigators propose to develop and implement a targeted linguistically and culturally appropriate audiovisual intervention (AVI) for Latinx/Spanish-speaking (SS) patients undergoing curative radiotherapy (RT). Our overall objective is to demonstrate benefit of AVI on RT knowledge, adherence, satisfaction and cancer trial perceptivity and enrollment in Latinx/SS patients. The investigators also aim to identify patient-specific and modifiable system-level factors predictive of quality RT delivery and clinical trial accrual to instruct future demographic-segmentation strategies focused on reducing outcomes disparities within radiation oncology.
