About this trial
The overall goal of this study is to assess the implementation of the Ask Questions about Clinical Trials (ASQ-CT) brochure, a patient-focused communication tool previously demonstrated to improve patient-provider communication about clinical trials. Participants will be given the ASQ-CT brochure at Time 1 (baseline) and participants will complete a questionnaire at three timepoints, baseline (Time 1), Pre-Research Visit (Time 2), and Post-Research Visit (Time 3).

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Effectiveness - Self-Efficacy in managing patient-provider interactions - Quantitative Scale
Improvement of self-efficacy in managing patient-providers interactions between baseline (Time 1) and pre-clinic visit (Time 2). Measured using scale of 1-5 where a higher score is equal to a better outcome
Secondary outcomes
Reach - Number and Proportion
Proportion of individuals invited to participate who agree to participate. The denominator will be the absolute number of individuals who are identified and approached as potential participants; the numerator will be the number of people who agreed to participate. Investigators will track the number of people who were excluded from participation and why. Investigators anticipate that reach will vary by research site and patient baseline characteristic (i.e., sociodemographic, health literacy level). These variations between clinics will be based only on consented participants. Although the Investigators will track refusals, data will not be collected from patients who decline.

Improvement of self-efficacy in managing patient-providers interactions between baseline (Time 2) and pre-clinic visit (Time 3). Measured using scale of 1-5 where a higher score is equal to a better outcome
Effectiveness - Knowledge - Quantitative Scale
Improvement of knowledge between baseline (Time 1) and pre-clinic visit (Time 2). Measured using scale of 1-5 where a higher score is equal to a better outcome.
