Breast Cancer Clinical Trials Education program is offered to women in the experimental arm. This program was designed to promote increased clinical trials literacy among African American and Hispanic American women. Increased clinical trials knowledge and a better understanding of clinical trials is anticipated to create more positive attitudes, and perceptions about clinical trials among these two groups of women who are traditionally underrepresented in breast cancer clinical trials.

The Neighborhood Watch Program created by the Bureau of Justice Assistance and the National Crime Prevention Council was selected for inclusion in the control arm of this study. It provided participants with a program of equivalent length and format, as well as an equivalent focus on improving the well-being of African American and Hispanic Americans. It also provided an opportunity to evaluate the impact of the Neighborhood Watch Program.

The purpose of this study is to test a program designed to increase African American and Hispanic American women's scientific literacy, knowledge of clinical trials, and to facilitate breast cancer clinical trial participation.

Knowledge and participation in clinical trials is disproportionately low among minorities. The purpose of this study is to test a program designed to increase African American and Hispanic American women's scientific literacy, knowledge of clinical trials, and to facilitate breast cancer clinical trial participation.

A validation study was also conducted to validate several measures for the Hispanic American and African American populations.

The experimental group watched an education program concerning breast cancer clinical trials while the control group watched an education program on neighborhood safety.

To examine willingness to participate in research was assessed by a post-intervention invitation to complete a sleep diary.

The study administered standardized psychosocial measure (Personal Health Survey) at baseline. Data were gathered to measure participants' knowledge and attitudes. The overall data from all measures were then used to evaluate the impact of the intervention, as well as what factors may have moderated and mediated that outcome. To measure changes in participations' behavior, they were immediately offered the opportunity to take part in another study that required a new consent document and collection of saliva samples. Regardless of whether the participants agreed to take part in this second study, they were next invited to be a part of the Ambassador for Clinical Trials Program, which meant they would periodically receive flyers about open clinical trials to share with family, friends, and community contacts.

Cancer Clinical Trials Education Program is offered to English- and Spanish-speaking Hispanics in the experimental arm. This program was designed to promote increased clinical trials literacy among Hispanic Americans. Increased clinical trials knowledge and a better understanding of clinical trials is anticipated to create more positive attitudes, and perceptions about clinical trials among Hispanic Americans.

The Neighborhood Watch Program created by the Bureau of Justice Assistance and the National Crime Prevention Council was selected for inclusion in the control arm of this study. It provided participants with a program of equivalent length and format, as well as an equivalent focus on improving the well-being of Hispanic Americans. It also provided an opportunity to evaluate the impact of the Neighborhood Watch Program.

Hispanic Americans are underrepresented in cancer clinical trials. The purpose of this study is to develop and test programs designed to reduce barriers and increase facilitators associated with cancer clinical trials participation for Hispanic Americans.

Cancer Clinical Trials Education Program

Hispanic Americans are underrepresented in cancer clinical trials. The purpose of this study is to develop and test education programs designed to reduce barriers and Increase facilitators associated with cancer clinical trials participation for Hispanic Americans. Focus groups were conducted with Hispanic American men and women to obtain culturally-linked attitudes related to clinical trials participation. This information was used to create a prototypic educational program anticipated to increase participation in clinical trials. It was then vetted and honed via additional focus groups.

Simultaneously, a validation study was conducted with Hispanic Americans for a packet of psychosocial instruments that could be used for a subsequent randomized controlled trial to evaluate the impact of the clinical trials education program.

The finalized clinical trials education program was tested via a randomized controlled trial. Participants assigned to the experimental group received the clinical trials education program, while participants in the control arm were administered a comparable, but non-relevant education program. Recruitment to this study has been completed.

Randomized Controlled Clinical Trials Education Program for Hispanic Americans

To assess the impact of the intervention arm on participants' knowledge, attitudes, and perceptions related to clinical trials, they were asked to complete the same surveys given at baseline during post-intervention immediately after intervention.

At the three-month follow-up, participants were mailed the final packet of survey instruments to complete and return in a stamped, self-addressed envelope.

Two weeks after receiving the intervention, participants were mailed an invitation to participate in a different research study by a researcher not previously known to them, to assess whether the intervention influenced behavior related to clinical trials invitations.
