Outcome measures
Primary
Change in Baseline Survey Score
The survey is a validated instrument (CHEKS\*) evaluated patients' knowledge and beliefs about cancer clinical trials (CCTs) before and after exposure to educational stimuli (written and video) detailing the purpose and characteristics of CCTs. The survey scores knowledge and beliefs about CCTs on a 100-point scale.The survey is collected before and after education materials are provided. The change in survey score will be analyzed. A paired t-test will be used to examine changes in CCT knowledge and Chi-Square tests of association to determine whether CCT knowledge and beliefs are associated with sociodemographic variables. \*Chung A, Donley T, Hays RD, et al.
