Abstract<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Background: <\/span><\/strong>Black\/African American adults are underrepresented in oncology clinical trials in the United States, despite efforts at narrowing this disparity.<\/span><\/p>\n

Objective: <\/span><\/strong>This study aims to explore differences in how Black\/African American oncology patients perceive clinical trials to improve support for the clinical trial participation decision-making process.<\/span><\/p>\n

Methods: <\/span><\/strong>As part of a larger randomized controlled trial, a total of 244 adult oncology patients receiving active treatment or follow-up care completed a cross-sectional baseline survey on sociodemographic characteristics, clinical trial knowledge, health literacy, perceptions of cancer clinical trials, patient activation, patient advocacy, health care self-efficacy, decisional conflict, and clinical trial intentions. Self-reported race was dichotomized into Black\/African American and non\u2013Black\/African American. As appropriate, 2-tailed t<\/i> tests and chi-square tests of independence were used to examine differences between groups.<\/span><\/p>\n

Results: <\/span><\/strong>Black\/African American participants had lower clinical trial knowledge (P<\/i>=.006), lower health literacy (P<\/i><.001), and more medical mistrust (all P<\/i> values <.05) than non\u2013Black\/African American participants. While intentions to participate in a clinical trial, if offered, did not vary between Black\/African American and non\u2013Black\/African American participants, Black\/African American participants indicated lower awareness of clinical trials, fewer benefits of clinical trials, and more uncertainty around clinical trial decision-making (all P<\/i> values <.05). There were no differences for other variables.<\/span><\/p>\n

Conclusions: <\/span><\/strong>Despite no significant differences in intent to participate in a clinical trial if offered and high overall trust in individual health care providers among both groups, beliefs persist about barriers to and benefits of clinical trial participation among Black\/African American patients. Findings highlight specific ways that education and resources about clinical trials could be tailored to better suit the informational and decision-making needs and preferences of Black\/African American oncology patients.<\/span><\/p>
