Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: mHealth app
What this could lead to: If successful, this app could help more Black women learn about and join breast cancer clinical trials, making research more inclusive.
What could go wrong: This is a small, completed feasibility study with 80 participants, so it cannot prove the app improves trial participation. Results may not apply to all Black women.
