Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The purpose of this research study is to test a touchscreen computer program, which allows patients to see information on a computer screen regarding cancer care, and specifically clinical trials. The purpose of this research is to help the investigators learn more about how to use technology in the medical setting to improve health outcomes.

- description
- New lung, gastric and pancreatic cancer patients presenting to the University of Chicago outpatient oncology clinics, a large research institution located on Chicago's Southside, were identified for study accrual, using the electronic scheduling system.

- Clinical Trials Attitudes, Knowledge, and Interest
- timeFrame
- Immediately after the visit.
- description
- We hypothesized that our interactive educational tool would improve patient receptivity, willingness, knowledge, self-efficacy and positive attitudes regarding therapeutic cancer clinical trials through the use of patient-friendly technology in the immediate pre-visit period. Patients used the TT to self-administer 24 items from the Clinical Trial questionnaire developed by Jacobsen and colleagues measuring Receptivity (range: 1-5), Willingness (range: 1-5), Knowledge about cancer clinical trials (range: 0-6), Positive Attitudes toward clinical trials (range: 1-5), and Self-Efficacy (range: 1-5). A high score for each subscale represents a more favorable outcome.
