What this study is about

The CONNECT: "Developing a learning COmmunity to increase eNgagemeNt and Enrollment in cardiovascular Clinical Trials" is comprehensive, participant-centered learning platform designed to increase diversity in cardiovascular disease research among women and Black and Latino adults. CONNECT will deploy electronic health record (EHR)-informed and community-engaged recruitment approaches to identify and recruit adults with cardiovascular disease or a cardiovascular disease risk factor to join CONNECT. Participants who join CONNECT will receive tailored educational information on cardiovascular health and research participation via text message. Participants will also have the opportunity to be connected to ongoing cardiovascular research studies based on basic demographic information and areas of interest. The educational information will be sent to participants for 12 months. The CONNECT platform will be used to evaluate recruitment methods. The investigators hypothesize the proportion of women and Black and Latin adults enrolled in trials that partner with CONNECT will be higher following the use of CONNECT for recruitment. Investigators also hypothesize that participating in CONNECT will increase participants' clinical trial awareness, trust, and willingness to participate in clinical trials.

A promising-looking record is not the same as confirmed eligibility. The study team must review the full criteria and current recruitment status.

Treatments and study arms

EHR-informed Recruitment Method of Contact

Behavioral

The intervention being studied here is the method of contact (patient portal vs. email vs. postal mail) after being identified in the EHR

Educational Text-Messages and Connection to Cardiovascular Research Opportunities

Behavioral

All participants who enroll in CONNECT, regardless of method of contact, will receive educational text messages and connection to cardiovascular research opportunities. Text messages will be tailored and include content on cardiovascular health promotion and research participation.

Primary outcomes

Participant accrual by priority populationBaseline

The total number of participants enrolled in CONNECT, divided by the total number recruited. This will be completed for each recruitment method (EHR-Informed vs. Community-Engaged)

Participant accrual by recruitment methodBaseline
