    Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Community Advisory Board, Key Informants and Pilot Testers [June 2021-June 2022]

      Employ a community-engaged approach, including a Community Advisory Board and key informant interviews, to a) assess knowledge, attitudes, beliefs, and sociocultural, clinical, and system-level factors (e.g., barriers) that may explain disparities in decisions about use of precision oncology in Black cancer patients

    2. Website Development [June 2021-June 2023]

      Utilize this information to guide the iterative development and pilot testing of an innovative, patient-centered and culturally tailored internet-based education and decision support intervention, "Promoting INformed approaches in Precision Oncology and ImmuNoTherapy (PINPOINT)," to reduce racial disparities in access to and use of guideline-based therapy.
