The purpose of this study is to recruit older adult minorities into a CT recruitment study and track their engagement with multiple modalities for delivering remote CT recruitment information and identify subgroup differences. The main purpose is to track older adult minority engagement and assess trust with an online intervention about CTs and recruitment.

The purpose of this study is to conduct iterative user experience (UX) and user interface (UI) evaluations to develop evidence-based, patient-centered digital health tool.

The purpose of this study is to qualitatively examine, via individual and group interviews, a tailored intervention utilizing virtual human technology to improve communication with rural and ethnic/racial minority patients and their willingness to participate in clinical research as an ultimate means to increase the diversity of NCI-sponsored clinical trials. Virtual human technology uses computerized agents with a human-like body and naturalistic dialogue to deliver educational information and model behaviors. Virtual human technology is used in a variety of health contexts and has the potential to increase the diversity of NCI-sponsored clinical trials by reducing common barriers to NCI-sponsored clinical trials participation like cultural mismatch and knowledge gaps about clinical research.

The purpose of this study is to quantitatively examine, via a post-test only survey, a tailored intervention utilizing virtual human technology (VHT) to improve communication with rural and ethnic/racial minority patients and their willingness to participate in clinical research as an ultimate means to increase the diversity of NCI-sponsored clinical trials (CCTs). 

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the integration of cancer genetic testing into a cancer clinical practice aimed towards patients of various ethnic populations in Arizona and Florida – including, but not limited to, Hispanic/Latino, Native American/Alaskan, African American, and Asian by self-report. 

The purpose of this study is to develop and pilot test the Smart Symptom Tracking ALEX tool using an experimental two-arm design (ALEX vs. standard of care).

The purpose of this study is to result in adaptable, minimally tailored virtual human technology (VHT) recruitment intervention for increasing older adult minority participation rates in active NIH-funded clinical trials (CTs).

The purpose of this study is to pilot test and evaluate an existing tailored ALEX Research Portal to navigate Black and Hispanic adult cancer patients and their family members through referral to cancer clinical trials.
