Increasing Minority Participation in Clinical Trials
Increasing Minority Participation in Clinical Trials
This study will measure the effects of an office-based, clinical trial education video on
 clinical trial knowledge and enrollment in clinical trials, in a clinical sample with no
 previous history of clinical trial participation. This study will also determine the
 feasibility of implementing an office-based video educational program.
Clinical trials are essential to scientific discovery and are critical to translating
 research in to practice. Despite their significance, clinical trial participation rates
 remain low, especially among underrepresented minority groups. Several barriers exist to
 minority group participation in clinical trial, one of which lack of awareness about clinical
 trials. Video educational programs show promise as an effective strategy to increase
 knowledge and clinical trial participation. The specific aims are as follows:

 1. Measure the effects of an office-based, clinical trial education video on clinical trial
 knowledge and enrollment in clinical trials, in a clinical sample with no previous
 history of clinical trial participation.

 2. Determine the feasibility of implementing an office-based video educational program.
