“…However, limited information is available on the effect of AVPI on clinical trial recruitment rates. Weston et al (1997) looked hypothetically at 'interest in participation' in a perinatal trial and concluded that a patient information video combined with an information sheet may result in greater participation. However, they acknowledged the hypothetical situation and that it was not possible to know if it translated into improved recruitment for this trial.…”

Recruitment to cancer clinical trials needs to be improved, as does patient knowledge and understanding about clinical trials, in order for patients to make an informed choice about whether or not to take part. Audiovisual patient information (AVPI) has been shown to improve knowledge and understanding in various areas of practice, but there is limited information about its effect in the cancer clinical trial setting, particularly in relation to consent rates. In this study, 173 patients were randomised to receive either the AVPI, in addition to the standard trial-specific written information, or the written information alone. There was no difference in clinical trial recruitment rates between the two groups with similar study entry rates: 72.1% in the AVPI group and 75.9% in the standard information group. The estimated odds ratio for refusal (intervention/no intervention) was 1.19 (95% CI 0.55 -2.58, P ¼ 0.661). Knowledge scores increased more in the AVPI group compared to the standard group (P ¼ 0.0072). The change in anxiety score between the arms was also statistically significant (P ¼ 0.011) with anxiety improving in the intervention arm more than in the no intervention arm. Audiovisual patient information was shown to be a useful tool in improving patient knowledge and anxiety, but further work is necessary in relation to its effect on clinical trial recruitment rates.

“…Nevertheless, certain strategies may help subjects remember the material beyond the initial testing period (Kleinman et al 1996;Taub et al 1981;Tindall et al 1994;Wirshing et al 1998). Interventions that showed a benefit when delayed recall (generally several weeks later) was tested included an additional interaction (telephone call or information visit) with a nurse, (Dodd and Mood 1981;Aaronson et al 1996) informational videotape, (Weston et al 1997) written (vs. or in addition to oral) preoperative information, (Armstrong et al 1997;Askew et al 1990;Morrow et al 1978) simplified and illustrated presentations, (Krynski et al 1994;Tymchuk et al 1988;Tymchuk and Ouslander 1991), and corrected feedback or multiple learning trials (Kleinman et al 1993;Kleinman et al 1996;Taub et al 1981;Wadey and Frank 1997;White et al 1995;Wirshing et al 1998). …”

“…In two studies, patients served as their own controls, with change over time being the reported outcome measure (Rikkert et al 1997;Wirshing et al 1998). Two of the positive investigations used videotape to enhance the informed consent process (Fureman et al 1997;Weston et al 1997). Both videotape studies reported that patients in the intervention group demonstrated less decrease in knowledge over time (2 weeks to 2 months later).…”
