This research has the overall goal of increasing rates at which African American and White
men with prostate cancer make an informed decision to participate in a cancer clinical trial.

This research utilizes two distinct research designs to evaluate two separate behavioral
interventions.

The first is a between-subject randomized controlled trial to evaluate a patient-focused
intervention. The intervention consists of a booklet designed to encourage patients to view
themselves as part of the patient-physician team and to participate actively in clinical
interactions by asking questions and stating concerns.

The second is a within-subject interrupted time series design to evaluate a physician-focused
intervention. The intervention is an educational module and email reminders designed to
encourage physicians to discuss trials with all eligible patients using patient-centered
communication.In the patient-focused intervention, patients are randomized to an intervention
or usual care group, and comparison of outcomes is made between groups.
