Procedure: Video viewing group
Registration Number
NCT02600533
Lead Sponsor
Vanderbilt University Medical Center
Brief Summary

This study will measure the effects of an office-based, clinical trial education video on clinical trial knowledge and enrollment in clinical trials, in a clinical sample with no previous history of clinical trial participation. This study will also determine the feasibility of implementing an office-based video educational program.

Detailed Description

Clinical trials are essential to scientific discovery and are critical to translating research in to practice. Despite their significance, clinical trial participation rates remain low, especially among underrepresented minority groups. Several barriers exist to minority group participation in clinical trial, one of which lack of awareness about clinical trials. Video educational programs show promise as an effective strategy to increase knowledge and clinical trial participation. The specific aims are as follows:

1. Measure the effects of an office-based, clinical trial education video on clinical trial knowledge and enrollment in clinical trials, in a clinical sample with no previous history of clinical trial participation.

2. Determine the feasibility of implementing an office-based video educational program.

GroupInterventionDescription
Video viewing groupVideo viewing groupFirst, participants will complete a brief electronic survey measuring their opinions on clinical trials. Next, participants in the video viewing group will watch the 10-minute DVD video on tablet devices using headphones in the clinic. Participants in this groups will be informed that a team member will call him/her in approximately 1 week to ask him/her the (same) questions about clinical research.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
study feasibility12 months

The stages of implementation completion (SIC) measure will be used as an internal tool utilized by the study team to track time to achievement of key implementation milestones. An 8-stage implementation plan to measure feasibility of the office-based educational program will be executed across 3 phases. Three scores will be derived from the SIC measure. The first score is the number of stages completed. The second score is the time spent at each stage. The third score is the proportion of activities completed at each stage. Implementation of the SIC model poses no additional burden on study participants.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Likelihood to participate survey7-10 days

This survey consist of 5-items assessing reasons for not participating in research, views about sources of research, views about sharing of research data, trust, and willingness to advise research teams.

Clinical trial participation12 months

Information on clinical trial participation will be collected by a team member by reviewing the participants' health record and by contacting the VICC clinical trial team.

Clinical trial knowledge survey7-10 days

This survey consist of 22-items assessing a participants views on clinical trials on 5 domains (positive beliefs, safety, information needs, negative expectations, and patient involvement).
