The investigators will leverage e-technologies to provide an online version of the Question
Prompt LIst (QPL-CT), that patients access via available iPads, enabling both the real-time
prioritizing of patient questions as well as the seamless delivery of these questions to
their treating physician (and other members of their clinical team) via the VCU Health
System (VCUHS) patient portal, and the electronic medical record (EMR) prior to a
consultation to discuss a clinical trial

The investigators propose to conduct pilot work to inform our knowledge of optimal methods
of utilizing QPLs and will use the QPL-CT as an example. The investigators will leverage
e-technologies to provide an online version of the QPL-CT, that patients access via
available iPads, enabling both the real-time prioritizing of patient questions as well as
the seamless delivery of these questions to their treating physician (and other members of
their clinical team) via the VCU Health System (VCUHS) patient portal, and the EMR prior to
a consultation to discuss a clinical trial. The investigators will use a pilot randomized
clinical trial design to demonstrate the efficacy of the online QPL-CT versus a paper and
pencil QPL-CT to increase question asking, patient understanding of trial information and
reduce patients conflict over their upcoming decision to join a trial
