Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This study investigates different ways to educate rural residents living in New Hampshire and Vermont about cancer research studies and clinical trials to increase knowledge of, increase positive attitudes toward, and encourage enrollment in cancer research studies and clinical trials. The information learned from this study will contribute to a nation-wide initiative to educate the public about clinical trials, including a nation-wide evaluation of that initiative. The results of this study may also help researchers understand how education about clinical trials/research affects knowledge of and attitudes toward cancer research and clinical trials, as well as behavioral intentions and actual behaviors related to enrolling in cancer research studies and clinical trials.

Primary outcomes (3)
- measure
- Change in % of Participants With Correct Knowledge Related to What Cancer Research Studies and Clinical Trials Are as Assessed Before and After Educational Intervention, Measured on the Same Day
- timeFrame
- Pre-test questionnaire administered before educational intervention; post-test questionnaire administered after educational intervention on same day. Number represents change in knowledge (increase in % of respondents getting the answer correct).
- description
- A pre-test and post-test knowledge questionnaire conducted with participants to assess changes in knowledge related to key learning outcomes expected from the educational intervention, assessed via percent of correct and incorrect responses to 11 true/false "knowledge" questions. A large positive number indicates the percent increase in people getting the answer right after the intervention. % change is a unique number that was calculated as the difference between the % answering correctly after the intervention minus the % correct before the intervention; it is representative of the entire data set and not calculated on an individual participant level. Each row represents a unique survey question evaluating the topic listed in the row title.
