NCT ID NCT07805083
First seen Sep 04, 2026 · Last updated Sep 09, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests how different styles of cancer research recruitment messages and informed consent forms influence people's decisions to join studies. Researchers will show 600 adults in the United States various message versions and consent formats, then measure their trust and confidence in participating. The goal is to learn which communication approaches work best for encouraging diverse participation in cancer research.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Behavioral intervention involving exposure to different cancer research recruitment messages and informed consent formats
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could identify more effective ways to recruit diverse participants into cancer research, improving representation and trust.
- What could go wrong
- This is a behavioral study, not a treatment trial, so it won't directly affect cancer outcomes. Results may not generalize beyond the specific messages and consent formats tested.
