Summary

This study explores whether an online educational video can help people living in rural parts of New Hampshire and Vermont learn about cancer research and clinical trials. Researchers will measure changes in knowledge, attitudes, and actual enrollment in cancer studies over six months. The goal is to find better ways to inform and engage rural communities in cancer research.
