Breast cancer patients complete questionnaire concerning their use of medical apps.

Survey

Heike Jansen, Dr. med.

Breast cancer patients complete questionnaires concerning their use of medical apps.

Breast cancer patients of the department of gynecology at Technical University of Munich and Berlin Charité complete quesionnaires during routine appointments. Intention of the survey is to evaluate the importance of medical apps and the special needs of breast cancer patients. Moreover approaches to improve health care of breast cancer patients are expected to be developed.

Principal Investigator

Biobanking educational DVD and booklet kit developed by the Tampa Bay Community Network (TBCCN) Center. English kit is entitled "Biobanking Hope for a Cancer Cure", and Spanish kit is entitled "Biobanco: Una esperanza de cura para el cancer."

Biobanking educational Brochure developed by the National Cancer Institute. English brochure is entitled "Providing your Tissue for Research: What you need to Know", Spanish brochure is entitled "Lo que usted debe saber antes de dar sus tejidos para investigación médica."

Participants will be asked to view the educational materials developed by TBCCN, in either English or Spanish depending on the RCT in which they are enrolled. These materials include a DVD and a booklet that were developed to enhance community members' understanding and awareness of biospecimen collection and biobanking from healthy individuals.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate English and Spanish language educational materials that inform the community about a type of cancer research that involves the collection, storage, and processing of biospecimens. Part A of this study involved creating surveys about biospecimen donation and research. Now, a randomized controlled trial (RCT) will begin to evaluate education materials about biospecimen donation and research.

Phase II consists of two independent randomized controlled trials. Each trial is being conducted independently to test English and Spanish language materials (75 subjects each).

The project addresses gaps in information by developing and validating English and Spanish language instruments to measure knowledge of and attitudes towards biospecimen donation and banking, as well as intention to donate biospecimens to a biobank (Part A). Once developed, the instruments will be used to evaluate biobanking educational priming tools by conducting two independent RCTs. Wherein English educational materials will be tested with 75 participants recruited from an urban clinic, and Spanish educational materials will be tested with 75 participant recruited form a rural community health center network. For each RCT following baseline assessment, participants will be randomized to either: 1) educational priming tools (DVD and booklet) developed by the Tampa Bay Community Cancer Network (TBCCN); or 2) an NCI-developed brochure entitled "Providing Your Tissue for Research: What You Need to Know." Seven to 28 days later participants will be given a telephone follow up interview.
