Evaluating the Effectiveness of Motivational Interview to Reduce Disparities in Trial Enrollment
NIMICT: MI Training is a multi-center, single blinded, randomized clinical trial. Coordinators are randomized to receive MI training or Standard Operating Procedures training. The MI arm includes communication techniques to establish rapport with potential participants, including: 1) exploring goals and values of the individual regarding participation, 2) eliciting and addressing barriers or concerns recruiting minorities and women, and 3) summarizing the positive and negative aspects of participation.
The primary outcome is the effectiveness of the MI Training to increase participant enrollment and retention rates. We will examine the proportion of females and minorities approached enrolled and successful enrollment. Successful use of MI for trial recruitment has the potential to significantly improve rates of trial participation and reduce disparities that impact generalizability of research.
