This study focuses on psychosocial barriers at the patient level with the goal of promoting high quality decision making around clinical trials participation. The proposed study adapts the PRE-ACT model to racial and ethnic minority patients who were underrepresented in the original PRE-ACT study and will be combined with a patient navigator model.

The primary objective of the proposed research is to employ a non-directive method to improve preparedness for consideration of clinical trials among racial minority patients by providing tailored information to address knowledge and attitudes towards clinical trials. This model has been previously studied in a primarily white, well-educated population. It is unknown how well this model adapts to meet the needs of diverse patient populations.}}

Experimental: PRE-ACT Adaptation At the scheduled oncologic visit: consent obtained and all participants will complete the Demographics/Clinical Characteristics survey and Pre-Intervention Survey Within 3 months of consent: tailored educational intervention and patient navigation program will take place and the scored Pre-Intervention survey will be used to generate a list of barrier for each patient. The patient will be asked to view educational videos on an iPad that correspond with each identified barrier. Afterwards, the patient navigator will lead a discussion based on the topics discussed. Within 4 weeks of the educational video: the participant will be contacted via phone to complete a Post-Intervention Survey that assesses knowledge, attitudes, and preparation related to participation in clinical trials Two years after intervention: chart review will be performed to assess if the patient participated in a clinical trial. |
