Experimental Treatment

Group I: PRE-ACT AdaptationExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

At the scheduled oncologic visit: consent obtained and all participants will complete the Demographics/Clinical Characteristics survey and Pre-Intervention Survey Within 3 months of consent: tailored educational intervention and patient navigation program will take place and the scored Pre-Intervention survey will be used to generate a list of barrier for each patient. The patient will be asked to view educational videos on an iPad that correspond with each identified barrier. Afterwards, the patient navigator will lead a discussion based on the topics discussed. Within 4 weeks of the educational video: the participant will be contacted via phone to complete a Post-Intervention Survey that assesses knowledge, attitudes, and preparation related to participation in clinical trials Two years after intervention: chart review will be performed to assess if the patient participated in a clinical trial.
