Findings suggest the greatest enrollment barrier is eligibility for an available trial, but a communication intervention can improve communication quality and trial invitation rates, especially for eligible Black patients.This multisite study addressed two barriers to enrollment of Black and White men in prostate cancer clinical trials—patient eligibility and patient–physician communication. Findings showed eligibility, a systemic barrier, is the biggest barrier; but a simple Question Prompt List communication intervention can improve interpersonal barriers including communication quality and trial invitation rates, especially for Black patients.
