What this trial studies

This study explores perceptions of virtual agents used in research recruitment and compares various informed consent approaches. Researchers will present participants with different ICF formats and videos to see how these options affect decision-making. The study uses an educational cancer intervention to gauge understanding and comfort with the consent process. Participants will be adults (18+) who speak English and are patients or prospective participants at Mayo Clinic in Florida.
