ACT W
ONDERS Study
Summary: Project ACT WONDERS study is focused on increasing referral and enrollment of patients who are Black and Hispanic in therapeutic clinical trials, as they have been historically underrepresented.
To accomplish this goal, the study team will be developing and implementing a multi-level intervention, which will include components, such as digital tools and resources for patients and physicians, as well as workshops, educational sessions, and community events hosted by trained Moffitt health educators.
What does it take: As a first step to refining the intervention, the study team is conducting a series of interviews with key stakeholders, such as Black and Hispanic Moffitt patients. The study team would like to learn about your thoughts and experiences with therapeutic clinical trials.
