What this trial studies
This research aims to explore how much information individuals can recall regarding their cancer screening and diagnosis. It involves a randomized controlled trial where participants will complete a questionnaire about their cancer care, first without assistance and then again after being prompted to access their online medical records. The study will compare the recall accuracy between those who receive prompts to use their medical records and those who do not, to assess the effectiveness of this intervention in improving patient recall.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are individuals diagnosed with breast or prostate cancer within the last 10 years who have internet access.
Not a fit: Patients who do not have access to the internet or have not been diagnosed with breast or prostate cancer may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance patients' understanding and recall of their cancer screening and treatment information, leading to better health outcomes.
How similar studies have performed: While similar studies on patient recall and medical record access have shown promise, this specific approach is relatively novel.
