Study Description

Brief Summary: This research study is evaluating the effectiveness of video and web-based communication in clinical research compared to standard practices.

Detailed Description: Research has shown that many clinical trial participants are confused about clinical trials. Common participant misunderstandings include the idea of randomization, benefits to participants' health, the proven nature of the study intervention, and failure to recognize the primary purpose of the trial. There can sometimes be unintended miscommunication between the study doctor and/or nursing staff and participants. Thus, there is a clear need to identify ways to improve communication during clinical trials. The investigator's current culture of web-based information presentation, whether it takes the form of PowerPoint presentations, videos, websites, or audio tools, suggests that adding such technology to the cancer research realm may improve a participant's clinical trial experience and possibly improve participant understanding and safety while enrolled on a clinical trial. Video and web-based tools in cancer research have the potential to transform clinical trial practice.
