About this trial

This study aims to test the Tools for Reducing Inequity in Acute Leukemia (TRIAL) web-based application that is designed to support participants with acute leukemia by providing information and resources about leukemia and clinical trial participation.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Age 18 or older

English speaking

Ability to understand and willingness to sign written informed consent

Clinical suspicion of acute leukemia

Disqualifiers

Cognitive impairment rendering the individual unable to participate in beta testing

This will be assessed by focused chart review and consultation with the patients' inpatient care team.

The following populations will be excluded: adults unable to consent, individuals who are not yet adults (infants, children, teenagers <18 years old), prisoners.

Inability to participate in in-person application testing.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Post-Test Completion Rate

Defined as the proportion of completed post-tests compared to the overall total of 75. Retention feasibility is defined as ≥ 70% of post-test completions, or 53 completions.

Time frame
Day 14 or date of discharge
2

System Usability Scale (SUS) Score

Assessed by the System Usability Scale (SUS), a 10-item measure rated on a 5-point Likert scale from 1 "Strongly Disagree" to 5 "Strongly Agree" with a total scores range of 0 to 100. A higher score represents greater usability.

Time frame
Day 14 or date of discharge
3

Percentage of Participants Scoring ≥68 on SUS

Defined as the proportion of participants who score ≥68 on the SUS compared to the overall enrollment of 75 participants. Usability of the intervention is defined as \>70%, or 53 participants.

Time frame
approximately 12 months (based on total accrual duration)

Secondary outcomes

1

Participant Screening Rate

Defined as the proportion of enrollees over the number of participants approached for study enrollment.

Time frame
approximately 12 months (based on total accrual duration)
2

Participant Eligibility Rate

Defined as the proportion of enrollees over the number of participants eligible for study enrollment.

Time frame
approximately 12 months (based on total accrual duration)
3

Change in Seven-Item Knowledge Scale (SIKS) Score from Baseline to Post-Test

Assessed by the Seven-Item Knowledge Scale (SIKS) which is comprised of items covering general clinical research statements. Respondents indicate whether a statement is "True," "False," or "Don't know." Scoring is based on the number of correct items (range 0-100). "Don't know" and omitted responses do not count toward the score. A score of 70 or higher indicates adequate knowledge.

Time frame
Baseline and day 14 or date of discharge (post-test)
4

Change in Attitudes to Randomized Trials Questionnaire (ARTQ) Score from Baseline to Post-Test

Assessed by the Attitudes to Randomized Trials Questionnaire (ARTQ), a 7-item measure with answers of "Yes, "No," or "Do Not Know." The first three items represent willingness to participate in a clinical trial. These items will be assigned a value of 1 for an answer of "Yes" or 0 for an answer of "No or Do Not Know" and summed to obtain overall willingness. Change = (Day 14 or Discharge score - Baseline score)/Baseline score

Time frame
Baseline and day 14 or day of discharge (post-test)
