RECRUITING

A Virtual Community Health Educator for Increasing Clinical Trial Referrals Among Cancer Patients and Their Caregivers

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

This clinical trial studies how well a virtual community health educator (vCHE) works in increasing clinical trial referrals for patients with cancer and their caregivers. Low enrollment of underrepresented and underserved populations in cancer clinical trials has led to disparities in intervention development and implementation. One approach to recruiting diverse populations to cancer clinical trials is community health educators. However, community health educator interventions are costly and difficult to implement. vCHEs are photo-realistic virtual agents that provide personalized guidance and support to users. They are designed to mimic real-life community health workers, offering culturally and linguistically tailored information to users. They can communicate in English or Spanish and are available in diverse genders and racial/ethnic backgrounds. vCHEs may be able to increase the enrollment of diverse participants into cancer clinical trials.
