Summary

This study is testing whether a website with a virtual community health educator can help Black and Hispanic cancer patients in Florida learn about and sign up for clinical trials. About 350 adults will be randomly assigned to either a standard information portal or one with a virtual coach. The goal is to see if the virtual coach increases the number of people who express interest in joining a trial.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
virtual community health educator (vCHE) and web-based educational portal
What this could lead to
If successful, this approach could increase participation of underrepresented groups in cancer clinical trials, making future treatments more inclusive.
What could go wrong
This is a small pilot study (350 people) testing a behavioral tool, not a treatment. It may not lead to higher referral rates or work outside Florida.
