“…Our results are comparable with those of previous studies examining the effectiveness of LGBT competency training interventions developed for specific disciplines, such as emergency medicine and geriatric care. [30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38] In addition to effectiveness and acceptability of content, similar to other online training programs for oncology nurses, the COLORS training was well received and was conducive to learning among oncologists. 37 However, the COLORS training was also unique in several aspects, as mentioned above.…”

“…Most existing trainings cover general topics relevant to the care of LGBT patients, such as sexual orientation and gender‐related terminology, inclusive language and communication, and health disparities commonly experienced within the LGBT community . Additionally, there are specific trainings that have been developed and examined for medical students, nurses, emergency room care providers, and providers caring for geriatric patients . These studies showed that training improved LGBT‐related knowledge and attitudes among health care providers, but few have examined changes in clinical practices.…”

Background Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) cancer patients experience substantial health disparities, including poorer overall health and lower satisfaction with their cancer care than their heterosexual and cisgender counterparts, which may be due in part to a lack of culturally competent providers. To address these disparities, a web‐based LGBT cultural competency training tailored to oncologists was developed by an interdisciplinary team of scientists, LGBT cancer survivors, cultural competency experts, oncologists, a web designer, and an instructional designer. Methods Oncologists (n = 44) were recruited from 3 academic cancer centers in Florida. Participants were administered the LGBT cultural competency training Curriculum for Oncologists on LGBT populations to Optimize Relevance and Skills (COLORS) and completed pre‐ and posttraining measures regarding LGBT‐related knowledge, attitudes (including general negative attitudes and health care–related attitudes), and clinical practices. After the training, participants completed training acceptability measures. Results Of the 44 participants, 33 (75%) completed the COLORS training. Participants were 55% non‐Hispanic white, 63% male, and had a mean age of 47 years. Participants demonstrated significant improvements in LGBT‐related knowledge (t = −4.9, P < .001), attitudes (Z = −3.0, P = .002; t = −2.5, P = .019), and clinical practices (Z = −3.5, P < .001) after completing the COLORS training (Wilcoxon signed rank tests were used for nonnormally distributed variables). Moreover, training acceptability was high, with 82% of participants rating the training as high quality, and 97% being willing to recommend the training to a colleague. Conclusion The COLORS training is both feasible to administer and acceptable for use with oncologists, and may improve oncologists' LGBT‐related knowledge, attitudes, and clinical practices. Larger trials are needed to examine the training's effectiveness in reducing LGBT cancer disparities, as well as its applicability to other types of care providers.

“…According to the past studies, several factors influence an individual's level of trust in research including socioeconomic status, cultural beliefs, and personal or interpersonal experiences with research and health care providers [2,[8][9][10]. However, measuring this concept in biomedical research is likely different from measuring trust in healthcare and other areas, especially among those underrepresented in research [11,12].…”

“…Hence, a major disadvantage of these measuresespecially those used in healthcare settingsis the neglect of domains that might be particularly important to people less likely to voluntarily participate in medical researche.g., safety, fairness, communication, and honesty. This creates a critical gap in our understanding of trust across populations [11].…”

Objective:Lack of trust toward medical research is a major barrier to research participation, particularly among some population groups. Valid measures of trust are needed to develop appropriate interventions. The study purpose was to compare two previously validated scales that measure trust in biomedical research – one developed by Hall et al. (H-TBR; 2006) and the other by Mainous et al. (M-TBR; 2006) – in relation to socio-demographic variables and attitudes toward research. Differences between Black and White respondents were explored.Methods:Two nearly identical surveys – one with H-TBR and the other with M-TBR – were systematically administered to a convenience sample. Internal consistency reliability of each scale was assessed. Associations were computed between scores on each scale with attitudes toward biomedical research and demographic variables (i.e., gender, age, race, and socioeconomic status). The difference between White and Black respondents on each TBR score while controlling for age, education, and race was also investigated.Results:A total of 2020 participants completed the H-TBR survey; 1957 completed the M-TBR survey. Mean item scores for M-TBR were higher (F = 56.05, p < 0.001) among Whites than Blacks. Whites also had higher mean item scores than Blacks on H-TBR (F = 7.09, p < 0.001). Both scales showed a strong association with participants’ perceived barriers to research (ps < 0.001) and significant, positive correlations with interest in research participation (ps < 0.001). Age and household income were positive predictors of TBR scores, but the effects of education differed.Conclusions:Both scales are internally consistent and show associations with attitudes toward research. Whites score higher than Blacks on both TBR scales, even while controlling for age and socioeconomic status.

Cancer education is essential for improving cancer prevention and biobanking knowledge among racial-ethnic minorities, with the goal of increasing diversity and representativeness of biospecimen collections. However, little is known about the communication modalities for optimal delivery of information. We examined feasibility of recruitment and compared communication modalities for delivering cancer prevention and biobanking education to Hispanics. Communication modalities were evaluated using participation rates and change in knowledge, attitudes, self-efficacy, intention, receptivity, and trust. Enrollment in a biobanking registry was a behavioral outcome. Community members in Ponce, Puerto Rico and Tampa, Florida were recruited. Participants (N = 254) were randomized to one of three communication modalities: standard dissemination (mailed materials); enhanced dissemination (mailed materials plus follow-up call); and 'charla' (face-to-face group discussion). Participants completed questionnaires about their knowledge, attitudes, self-efficacy, intentions, receptivity, and trust regarding biobanking and cancer prevention pre- and post-intervention. Knowledge, attitudes, and self-efficacy were improved among all three modalities. Although the greatest increases in knowledge were observed when the information was delivered via charla, the charla had the lowest participation rate. The standard and enhanced dissemination modalities were more feasible for delivering cancer prevention and biobanking education to Hispanics. Lack of differences among the three modalities suggests culturally tailored education may be sufficient to capture the community's intention to participate in biobanking research, regardless of the delivery method for the education. Results from this study contribute to the limited knowledge regarding Hispanics knowledge and intentions for biospecimen collection, and in the future may improve participation in this underrepresented group.
