About this study

Knowledge and participation in clinical trials is disproportionately low among minorities. The purpose of this study is to test a program designed to increase African American and Hispanic American women's scientific literacy, knowledge of clinical trials, and to facilitate breast cancer clinical trial participation.

A validation study was also conducted to validate several measures for the Hispanic American and African American populations.

The experimental group watched an education program concerning breast cancer clinical trials while the control group watched an education program on neighborhood safety.

To examine willingness to participate in research was assessed by a post-intervention invitation to complete a sleep diary.

Primary outcomes

  1. Educational Post-Intervention Changes in Participants' Breast Cancer Clinical Trials-Using Standardized Personal Health Survey.

    Time frame: Baseline data using Personal Health Survey were collected immediately prior to participants' randomization to either the experimental or control study arms.

    The study administered standardized psychosocial measure (Personal Health Survey) at baseline. Data were gathered to measure participants' knowledge and attitudes. The overall data from all measures were then used to evaluate the impact of the intervention, as well as what factors may have moderated and mediated that outcome. To measure changes in participations' behavior, they were immediately offered the opportunity to take part in another study that required a new consent document and collection of saliva samples. Regardless of whether the participants agreed to take part in this second study, they were next invited to be a part of the Ambassador for Clinical Trials Program, which meant they would periodically receive flyers about open clinical trials to share with family, friends, and community contacts.

  2. Educational Post-Intervention Changes in Participants' Breast Cancer Clinical Trials-Using Standardized Social Status Survey.

    Time frame: Baseline data using Social Status Survey were collected immediately prior to participants' randomization to either the experimental or control study arms.

    The study administered standardized psychosocial measure (Social Status Survey) at baseline. Data were gathered to measure participants' knowledge and attitudes.
