About this study

In plain language

This study tests ways to help more people from racial and ethnic minority groups join prostate cancer trials. It aims to reduce barriers for patients, researchers, and the health system. It is for people with prostate cancer who receive care at Lyndon B. Johnson (LBJ) Hospital and qualify for an open trial there.

The main rationale underlying this study is that prostate cancer clinical trials are lacking representation from racial and ethnic minority groups. Study proposal aims to target barriers at the participant, investigator, and health system level through specific interventions to increase the percentage of participants from these backgrounds on cancer clinical trials.
