The National Institutes of Health Publication 02-5053, Cancer Clinical Trials: A Resource Guide for Outreach, Education, and Advocacy, helps individuals and organizations find ways to participate and engage their community in clinical trials outreach and education activities. This publication includes worksheets and a Plan for Action to plan outreach efforts. Whether you are a health care professional who wants to find ways to reach your community, a member of a patient group who wants to educate its members, or someone who want to engage your group or organization to initiate clinical trial outreach activities. This guide is not designed to be a comprehensive overview; rather, it gives some examples of activities others have engaged in, and provides tools and suggestions for implantation in your community. By informing your community about clinical trials, you can help people make informed decisions about their cancer treatment or prevention options, including the option of participation in a clinical trial. The more people that participate in clinical trials, the faster we can answer the critical research questions that will lead us to better treatment and prevention options for all cancers. This workbook is designed to complement the other materials in the National Cancer Institute Clinical Trials Education Series, described at the beginning of this book.
