What this trial studies
This interventional project delivers a web-based educational video to adults aged 21 and older in the Karmanos Cancer Institute metropolitan Detroit catchment area. The video explains the purpose of clinical trials, addresses common myths, and provides information on how to find trial opportunities. Participants complete questionnaires before and after viewing to measure changes in knowledge and intention to participate. Recruitment happens through KCI clinical treatment centers and KCI-sponsored community events and involves no drug or procedural intervention.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal participants are adults aged 21 or older who live in the metropolitan Detroit KCI catchment area and can be reached through KCI clinics or community events and who provide informed consent.
Not a fit: People under age 21, those outside the KCI Detroit catchment area, or individuals who are already well informed and uninterested in trial participation are unlikely to benefit from this education.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the program could help more patients understand and consider joining appropriate cancer clinical trials.
How similar studies have performed: Previous video- and community-based education programs have increased clinical trial knowledge and willingness to consider participation in some populations, but results vary by community and follow-up.
