Training to Increase Minority Enrollment in Lupus Clinical Trials With Community Engagement: Enhancing Lupus Clinical Trial Recruitment Through Provider and Community Health Worker Engagement
Authors' conclusion
These promising findings highlight the potential and opportunities for the TIMELY program to improve behavioral predictors of trial referrals, including CHW knowledge and providers' knowledge, self-efficacy, and intentions to refer underrepresented patients to lupus clinical trials.
Study context
- Population
- Health care providers and community health workers engaged in referral of underrepresented patients to lupus clinical trials
- Participants
- 40 vs 18
- Comparison
- Before vs after the TIMELY program
- Providersn = 40
- Community health worker (CHWs)n = 18
- Outcome
- Changes in composite scores of theory-based behavioral predictors of lupus clinical trial referrals and engagement (knowledge, attitudes, self-efficacy, intentions)
Methodological detailsonline pretest and posttest design, paired t-tests
- Online pretest and posttest design
- Paired t-tests
Main finding

- Providers: P < 0.01
- CHWs: P < 0.001
