详细说明
Racial and ethnic minorities represent the fastest growing segment of the United States adult population, yet they remain significantly underrepresented in cancer clinical trials (CCTs). Low trust in clinical research and recruitment approaches that fail to address multilevel barriers to CCT participation are key reasons for minority population underrepresentation. Community health educators (CHEs) improve trust in research among underrepresented populations, yet relying on exclusively on CHE availability can limit intervention reach. Virtual CHEs (vCHEs) improve scalability by extending CHE capabilities and capitalizing on remote recruitment techniques. The purpose of the current project is to increase referral of diverse participants to NCI-supported clinical trials via a culturally responsive, multi-level intervention that utilizes vCHEs to reach diverse populations. The investigators will consolidate existing referral channels within the ALEX Research Portal. ALEX offers a custom experience for clinicians, CHEs, and patients to facilitate CCT referrals. Clinicians can utilize the portal to refer to CCTs; CHEs can use the portal to create an avatar that can provide introductory information to patients and schedule video-conference follow-ups; patients, families, and community members can use the portal to easily navigate to key information and make self-and other-referrals. The ability to streamline information to patients and CCT referrals to study coordinators is expected to improve the overall referral to CCTs. The ALEX Research Portal utilizes the adaptive virtual human technology developed at the University of Florida that provides users with culturally and linguistically tailored CCT information. The ALEX Research Portal will be developed and launched across three distinct geographic areas of Florida (Gainesville, Jacksonville, and Miami). This unique collaborative opportunity will provide access to participants representative of the racial and ethnic diversity of the state as well as cancer centers conducting CCTs associated with national networks [Experimental Therapeutics Clinical Trials Network (ETCTN), National Clinical Trials Network (NCTN)]. Guided by the Interactive Systems Framework for dissemination and implementation, our goal is to increase referrals to CCTs by optimizing the ALEX Research Portal for broad use. The outcome will be an evidence-based intervention that can be widely disseminated to quickly increase the referral of diverse patients to CCTs. This project will be conducted in three phases: (Phase I) establish a baseline of referrals and accrual of diverse participants to CCTs across multiple Florida Center Centers, (Phase 2) adapt and pilot the ALEX Research Portal using a randomized controlled clinical trial, and (Phase 3) scale the intervention by dissemination via the OneFlorida network. The proposed study will result in an empirically-tested vCHE Research Portal for increasing trust in CCTs among diverse populations that can easily be adapted and disseminated across the state to overcome challenges associated with recruiting diverse participants to CCTs.

Stand-alone Portal
The standard of care condition will include a portal that provides patients with access to existing online cancer clinical trial resources in one location. This includes links to pages with basic information about cancer clinical trials, ongoing studies, enrollment opportunities for existing institutional research registries, and contact information for study coordinators. |

Portal with Virtual Community Health Educator (vCHE)
The virtual community health educator condition will provide all information in standard of care with the addition of a virtual community health educator. Patients will have the opportunity to choose which virtual community health educator will provide digital navigation. The choices will include at least four English-speaking and four Spanish-speaking virtual community health educators representing different genders and racial/ethnic backgrounds. |

Proportion of patients who self-refer to cancer clinical trials
大体时间：Within two 2 months of consent
|
Patients from underrepresented groups will be recruited in this study and equally randomized into either a) standard-of-care web-based educational portal about clinical trials or a b) a web-based portal that includes a virtual Community Health Educator. Participants in both conditions will have the opportunity to self-refer (operationalized as expressing interest in being contacted) to a cancer clinical trial. The numbers of patients referred to a cancer clinical trial will be collected in both treatment groups and the proportions compared to determine whether adding a virtual Community Health Educator to web-based educational resources about cancer clinical trials will increase referrals of minority patients. Patients are assigned into 2 groups, and the outcome measure is the number of self-referrals after treatment divided by the total number of patients for both groups. |

Virtual Clinical Health Education (vCHE) preferences
大体时间：Within two months of consent
|
Participants assigned to the portal with the virtual Community Health Educator (vCHE) will be able to choose a vCHE among a set with different characteristics. Data on participant preferences for particular vCHE characteristics will be collected. The measure is the count number of the participants that choose the different characteristics of vCHE. |

Change in trust in Cancer Clinical Trials
大体时间：Within two months of consent
|
Participants who access the portal will first complete a Clinical Trials Attitudes questionnaire (pre-test) that assesses trust in cancer clinical trials (CCTs). Participants will complete the Clinical Trials Attitudes questionnaire (post-test) after interacting with the vCHE. The Clinical Trials Attitudes questionnaire consists of 14 questions answered on a 5-point scale (strongly agree, agree, neither agree nor disagree, disagree, or strongly disagree) The change in responses to the Likert-scale items between the pre-intervention questionnaire and the post-intervention questionnaire will be the change in trust in CCTs. |
