Brief Summary

The purpose of the research is to: develop an educational website to empower Black and African American cancer patients to make informed decisions about personalized cancer treatment and clinical trials. The sample size for the qualitative interviews was (n=48) when saturation was achieved. With a goal of (n=30) for the pilot trial, the overall target sample size for the study is (n=78).

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Community Advisory Board, Key Informants and Pilot Testers	June 2021-June 2022	Employ a community-engaged approach, including a Community Advisory Board and key informant interviews, to a) assess knowledge, attitudes, beliefs, and sociocultural, clinical, and system-level factors (e.g., barriers) that may explain disparities in decisions about use of precision oncology in Black cancer patients
Website Development	June 2021-June 2023	Utilize this information to guide the iterative development and pilot testing of an innovative, patient-centered and culturally tailored internet-based education and decision support intervention, "Promoting INformed approaches in Precision Oncology and ImmuNoTherapy (PINPOINT)," to reduce racial disparities in access to and use of guideline-based therapy.
