About this study

The purpose of this study is to evaluate English and Spanish language educational materials that inform the community about a type of cancer research that involves the collection, storage, and processing of biospecimens. Part A of this study involved creating surveys about biospecimen donation and research. Now, a randomized controlled trial (RCT) will begin to evaluate education materials about biospecimen donation and research.

Phase II consists of two independent randomized controlled trials. Each trial is being conducted independently to test English and Spanish language materials (75 subjects each).

Read the detailed description

The project addresses gaps in information by developing and validating English and Spanish language instruments to measure knowledge of and attitudes towards biospecimen donation and banking, as well as intention to donate biospecimens to a biobank (Part A). Once developed, the instruments will be used to evaluate biobanking educational priming tools by conducting two independent RCTs. Wherein English educational materials will be tested with 75 participants recruited from an urban clinic, and Spanish educational materials will be tested with 75 participant recruited form a rural community health center network. For each RCT following baseline assessment, participants will be randomized to either: 1) educational priming tools (DVD and booklet) developed by the Tampa Bay Community Cancer Network (TBCCN); or 2) an NCI-developed brochure entitled "Providing Your Tissue for Research: What You Need to Know." Seven to 28 days later participants will be given a telephone follow up interview.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • TBCCN-developed educational materialsOther

    Participants will be asked to view the educational materials developed by TBCCN, in either English or Spanish depending on the RCT in which they are enrolled. These materials include a DVD and a booklet that were developed to enhance community members' understanding and awareness of biospecimen collection and biobanking from healthy individuals.

  • NCI-developed educational materialsOther

    Participants will be asked to view the English biobanking educational Brochure entitled "Providing your Tissue for Research: What you need to Know", or Spanish brochure entitled "Lo que usted debe saber antes de dar sus tejidos para investigación médica."

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. BANKS-Knowledge Scale

    Administered at baseline and between 7 and 28 days after enrollment. Description: A validated 16-item questionnaire measuring knowledge about biobanking.

    Measured: Average of 28 days

  2. BANKS-Attitudes Scale

    Administered at baseline and between 7 and 28 days after enrollment. Description: A validated 15-item questionnaire measuring attitudes toward biobanking.

    Measured: Average of 28 days

  3. BANKS-Self-Efficacy Scale

    Administered at baseline and between 7 and 28 days after enrollment. Description: A validated 12-item questionnaire measuring self-efficacy in regards to donating a biospecimen to a biobank.

    Measured: Average of 28 days

  4. BANKS-Intentions

    Administered at baseline. Description: A single item measuring intentions to donate a biospecimen to a biobank.

    Measured: Average of 28 days

  5. Decisional Self-Efficacy

    Administered at follow-up (between 7 and 28 days after enrollment). Description: A validated 11-item questionnaire measuring participant's confidence in making a decision about donating a biospecimen (O'Connor M.A. Decision Self-efficacy Scale. 1995; www.ohri.ca/decisionaid).

    Measured: Average of 28 days

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. BANKS-Trust Scale

    Administered at baseline and between 7 and 28 days after enrollment. Description: A validated 10-item questionnaire measuring trust related to organizations, facilities, and people that may be involved in research.

    Measured: Average of 28 days

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing TBCCN-developed educational materials and NCI-developed educational materials in people with Neoplasm, run by H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 0 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Sep 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What does the primary outcome measure?

BANKS-Knowledge Scale (time frame: Average of 28 days). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 21 Sep 2021.
