What this trial studies

This study develops and tests a decision-support intervention aimed at helping patients with laryngeal and pharyngeal cancer make informed choices about participating in clinical trials. The intervention includes a tailored patient decision aid, decision coaching consultations with trained healthcare professionals, and a training program for these coaches. The feasibility of this intervention will be assessed by comparing responses from 60 patients before and after engaging with the decision support tools. The primary focus is on enhancing patient involvement in clinical trial decision-making.
