Health Literacy Intervention for Informed Consent of Cancer Patients Considering Clinical Trial Participation

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Cancer

In brief

This study will update an existing health literacy intervention (decision aid) for informed consent procedures and then conduct a randomized experiment implementing the health literacy intervention at Siteman Cancer Center and evaluate its effectiveness compared to usual care. Our hypothesis is that implementing the targeted, web-based decision aid (DA) in addition to usual care will increase knowledge about cancer clinical trials. Secondary outcomes include patients' ability to communicate with health care providers about trials, willingness to participate in trials, and enrollment rates for minority participants.
