Trial Identification
Brief Title: Effect of Multi-Media Tool on Enrollment in Oncology Clinical Trials
Official Title: A Pilot Investigation to Examine the Effect of a Multi-Media, Computer Based Tool (Talking Touchscreen) on Enrollment in Adult Oncology-Specific Clinical Trials at an Academic Medical Center
Study ID: NCT02020252
Study Description
Brief Summary: The purpose of this research study is to test a touchscreen computer program, which allows patients to see information on a computer screen regarding cancer care, and specifically clinical trials. The purpose of this research is to help the investigators learn more about how to use technology in the medical setting to improve health outcomes.
Detailed Description: 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.
