What this Trial Is About
This research aims to develop educational media designed specifically for Latinx Spanish-speaking patients undergoing radiation therapy for breast or prostate cancer. The study seeks to improve patient knowledge, treatment adherence, satisfaction, and openness to participating in cancer clinical trials by using culturally and linguistically appropriate audiovisual materials. Researchers also want to find patient and system factors that influence quality radiation therapy and trial enrollment to help reduce healthcare disparities in radiation oncology. Participants will receive either audiovisual videos or written brochures as educational tools about radiation therapy and cancer clinical trials. The study involves two phases of randomization: one for radiation therapy education and another for clinical trial education. Materials will be provided during treatment planning and throughout radiation therapy, which typically lasts several weeks. During the study, participants will complete questionnaires assessing their knowledge of radiation therapy, adherence to treatment, satisfaction, and views on clinical trials at various points before, during, and after radiation therapy. Researchers will track clinical trial enrollment for up to five years. The study includes regular follow-up visits and assessments to monitor outcomes and participant experiences throughout the treatment and post-treatment periods.
