Choices for Latinas and Clinical Trials
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Breast Cancer
In brief
"Increasing Access of Latinas into Breast Cancer Clinical Trials" aims to develop and pilot test a multi-communications approach - using a culturally relevant computer video, a tailored booklet and a patient navigator (PN) - to empower Latinas to make informed decisions about breast cancer clinical trials (BCCTs). Latinos represent 15% of the U.S. population but only 5.6% of participants in National Cancer Institute (NCI) treatment clinical trials, resulting in disparities in cancer outcomes and jeopardizing the generalizability of trial findings. In response, this study will develop and evaluate communication and health-system-change strategies to facilitate Latinas' access to BCCTs at the Cancer Therapy and Research Center at The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio (CTRC-UTHSCSA). The CTRC-UTHSCSA, an NCI-designated Cancer Center located in South Texas, serves a culturally and ethnically diverse population that historically has low participation in clinical trials, especially among those with breast cancer, the No. 1 cancer killer of Latinas.
