First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at why minority cancer patients often don't take part in clinical trials. Researchers surveyed patients about their understanding and attitudes, then tested an educational video and booklet to see if it boosted enrollment. The goal was to create a personalized platform that helps underserved patients overcome barriers to participation.
