  Purpose

The purpose of this study is to develop a Question Prompt List (QPL) about clinical trials for cancer patients and find out what cancer patients and their caregivers think of the QPL. A QPL is a list of questions patients might want to ask their doctors during their appointments.

We will conduct three focus groups to talk about using QPL's as a new way to recruit patients like you to clinical trials. The three groups will be made of patients who have and have not participated in clinical trials, their caregivers and doctors. This study is also being done to learn about how the QPL affects the question asking behavior of patients during their appointments with doctors at Memorial SloanKettering Cancer Center (MSKCC).

Groups/Cohorts Assigned Interventions
1
Trial experienced cancer patients and their primary caregivers.
Behavioral: focus groups

Focus group with MSKCC patients with lung, breast and prostate cancer who have taken part in clinical trials and other caregivers. This focus group will be audio recorded.

During the focus group, you will discuss a Question Prompt List that will be handed out to you. You will be asked about what you think of it and if you think it would have been useful to the patient you care for in his/her experience in a clinical trial.

The focus group to last from 60 to 90 minutes.

2
Trial naive cancer patients and their caregivers.
Behavioral: focus groups

Focus group with MSKCC patients with lung, breast and prostate cancer who have not taken part in clinical trials and other caregivers. This focus group will be audio recorded.

During the focus group, you will discuss a Question Prompt List that will be handed out to you. You will be asked about what you think of it and if you think it would be useful if the patient you care for were ever to take part in a clinical trial sometime in the future.

We expect the focus group to last from 60 to 90 minutes.

3
Health care professionals who are involved in running Phase I, II or III clinical trials.
Behavioral: focus groups

MSKCC clinicians who work with lung, breast and prostate cancer patients. This focus group will be audio recorded.

During the focus group, you will discuss a Question Prompt List that will be handed out to you. You will be asked about what you think of it and if you think it would be useful to your patients who take part in clinical trials. Expect the focus group to last from 60 to 90 minutes.
