简要总结
This clinical trial tests how well an educational program for training Hispanic/Latino/a (H/L) community members regarding colorectal cancer genetics works to increase knowledge about genetic and genomic testing. H/L populations are underrepresented in colorectal cancer tumor and genetics studies due to lack of access of patients in clinical genetic testing, very low participation in clinical trials, lack of knowledge about cancer genetics and genomics, and lack of culturally sensitive materials for patient engagement in cancer genetics and genomic research. The community genetic navigation engagement specialist training program may increase knowledge regarding colorectal cancer genetics in H/L communities.
详细描述
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To evaluate a genetic education program for H/L community health educators to train them as Community Genetic Navigation Engagement Specialists (CoGENES).
II. To evaluate a culturally tailored CoGENES Educational Tool Kit for H/L communities on genetic research, genetic counseling, and cancer risk assessments to be used by the CoGENES trainees to disseminate to community agencies.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To evaluate the efficacy of the CoGENES Educational program to improve the confidence of community health educators to train others in the community, as demonstrated by:

研究组 & 干预措施
Observational (Focus group)
Participants attend a focus group, over 60-90 minutes, on study.
干预措施: Discussion (Other)
Phase I (Education)
Participants complete educational sessions regarding colorectal cancer genetics over 3 hours each, one to two times per week, for a total of 18 hours over 3-6 weeks. Participants may attend virtual check-in meetings over 30-60 minutes each month. Participants who complete the training program may then participate in phase II.

Phase II (Training, education)
Participants who completed phase I train additional participants via educational sessions regarding colorectal cancer genetics. New phase II participants attend the educational sessions regarding colorectal cancer genetics, led by phase I participants, over a total of 10-18 hours. Participants may attend virtual check-in meetings over 30-60 minutes each month.

结局指标
主要结局
Number of participants who completed training program
时间窗: Up to 36 months
Will report the number of participants started and number of participants who successfully completed the training program. Training is considered successful if they complete the required number of hours. Training lasts 3 hours per session once a week over 6 weeks. We will recruit 10-12 trainees per year for 3 years.
Knowledge gained after training
时间窗: Up to 36 months
After training, participants will be assessed about their knowledge of genetic testing before training new trainees and educating community members. Will use the Genetic Literacy and Comprehension (GLAC) measure to assess trainees knowledge with eight commonly used genetic terms and concepts (genetic, chromosome, susceptibility, mutation, variation, abnormality, heredity, and sporadic) using a 7-point scale of 1 "Strongly Disagree" to 7 "Strongly Agree". We will compare pre- and post- surveys to assess knowledge.
Confidence of training after training completion
时间窗: Up to 36 months
Measured by scores obtained from questioners developed by our team to capture confidence level of participants in training peers, focusing on confidence of explaining each module of the program to prospective trainees and answering questions, as well as confidence level using our Educational Toolkit to educate the community at large. Higher scores mean more confidence.
Number of people trained and/or reached in the community
时间窗: At 6 and 12 month follow up
Will report number of people trained and/or reached in the community
Completion of focus groups
时间窗: Up to 2 years
Will focus on readability, knowledge, acceptability, barriers. These qualitative analyses focus on the educational materials themselves, and their ability to transfer knowledge in the most effective way, as well as assessing the effectiveness of the materials in transferring information that is understandable, readable and usable for participants to train others.
