Can a short video boost cancer trial enrollment in rural communities?
NCT ID NCT04409782
First seen Jun 30, 2026 · Last updated Jul 01, 2026 · Updated 1 time
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.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- online educational video
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this approach could help more rural residents understand and join cancer research studies, potentially improving diversity in clinical trials.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage educational study, not a treatment trial. It measures knowledge and intent, not health outcomes, and results may not apply beyond rural New England.
