Adult participation in clinical trials is low, and many individuals are unaware of trials as an option. Raising awareness about clinical trials and addressing barriers through education is key to increasing enrollment in trials.
To reach communities, the National Cancer Institute (NCI) worked with partners to disseminate clinical trials education resources. Evaluation was conducted to determine the effectiveness of the dissemination approaches on program goals.
Survey results indicated that partners disseminated, used, and were satisfied with the program resources. Focus group results corroborated these findings.
NCI's program successfully used partnerships for broad dissemination of resources to improve clinical trials awareness.
成年人参与临床试验的比例较低,许多人并不知道临床试验是一种选择。提高对临床试验的认识并通过教育消除障碍是增加试验入组人数的关键。
为了覆盖社区,美国国立癌症研究所(NCI)与合作伙伴合作,传播临床试验教育资源。进行了评估以确定传播方法对项目目标的有效性。
调查结果表明,合作伙伴传播、使用了项目资源,并对其感到满意。焦点小组的结果证实了这些发现。
NCI的项目成功利用合作伙伴关系广泛传播资源,以提高对临床试验的认识。
