Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Change in Participants' Clinical Trials-Related Knowledge, Attitudes and Beliefs From Baseline to First Follow-up

    To assess the impact of the intervention arm on participants' knowledge, attitudes, and perceptions related to clinical trials, they were asked to complete the same surveys given at baseline during post-intervention immediately after intervention.

    Change from baseline to first follow-up (immediately after receiving intervention)

  • Change in Participants' Clinical Trials-Related Knowledge, Attitudes and Beliefs From Baseline to Second Follow-up

    At the three-month follow-up, participants were mailed the final packet of survey instruments to complete and return in a stamped, self-addressed envelope.

    Change from baseline to second follow-up (three months after receiving intervention)

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Willingness to Participate in Research

    Two weeks after receiving intervention

Study Arms (2)

Cancer Clinical Trials Education Program

EXPERIMENTAL

Cancer Clinical Trials Education Program is offered to English- and Spanish-speaking Hispanics in the experimental arm. This program was designed to promote increased clinical trials literacy among Hispanic Americans. Increased clinical trials knowledge and a better understanding of clinical trials is anticipated to create more positive attitudes, and perceptions about clinical trials among Hispanic Americans.

Behavioral: Cancer Clinical Trials Education Program

Neighborhood Watch Education Program

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

The Neighborhood Watch Program created by the Bureau of Justice Assistance and the National Crime Prevention Council was selected for inclusion in the control arm of this study. It provided participants with a program of equivalent length and format, as well as an equivalent focus on improving the well-being of Hispanic Americans. It also provided an opportunity to evaluate the impact of the Neighborhood Watch Program.
