Facts and Attitudes About Clinical Trials

The primary objective of this project is to examine the impact of providing cancer patients
with audiovisual information about clinical trials on attitudes towards clinical trial
participation. It is hypothesized that patients provided these materials will have more
favorable attitudes toward clinical trial participation compared to patients not provided
these materials.

Participants will be randomized to either: (1) an intervention condition in which they will
be asked to view a short video and read an accompanying brochure about clinical trials
developed by the investigative team; or (2) a control condition in which they will be asked
to read the National Cancer Institute's brochure entitled "Taking Part in Cancer Treatment
Research Studies." Self-report data will be collected at two timepoints: 1) in person
following study enrollment, but before receipt of material related to intervention
assignment (baseline/Time 1), and 2) by telephone interview between 7 and 28 days following
study enrollment (follow-up/Time 2). In addition, data will also be collected from medical
records six weeks after study enrollment.
