PREDHICT: Precision Recruitment and Engagement of Diabetics and Hypertensives in Clinical Studies
For the sub-study, this digital navigation tool will both inform/educate, engage, support,
 and navigate participants and providers through the process of clinical trial participation
 via personalization (data profiling, adaptive and customized messaging, and tailored digital
 navigation) in a sample of 100 participants with diabetes and hypertension.
To identify provider- and system-level facilitators (solutions) of clinical trial
 participation that can be in corporated in the digital navigation tool. We will pay special
 emphasis on the behavior research volunteerism and altruism and individuals who are at risk
 for cardio metabolic conditions. To develop solutions that will address patient-, provider
 and system-level barriers preventing clinical trial participation Objective 2: To test the
 adherence, feasibility, and efficacy of a research volunteerism and altruism component of a
 health and wellness web app. that provides personalized newsfeeds and curriculum about
 research and health-related volunteer and altruistic activities versus traditional patient
 navigation procedures and resources in clinical trial awareness.'awareness/knowledge,
 attitudes, willingness to participate in clinical trial, self-efficacy, and share knowledge
 about clinical trial opportunities to social network. To determine which elements of the
 digital tool and mobil app are associated with increased awareness/knowledge, intent to
 participate, and contagion
