Educational Videos and Brochures for Latinx Breast and Prostate Cancer Patients
This study is looking at how educational videos and brochures can help Latinx Spanish-speaking patients with breast or prostate cancer. It aims to see if these materials, called Audiovisual Intervention-Radiation Therapy Education and Audiovisual Intervention-Cancer Clinical Trials Education, along with brochures like the ASTRO Radiation Therapy for Breast or Prostate Cancer Brochure and NCI Taking Part in Cancer Research Studies Brochure, can improve understanding of radiation therapy and encourage participation in cancer clinical trials. You can join if you are 18 or older, of Latinx background, speak Spanish, and are currently or recently treated for breast or prostate cancer. The study will measure your knowledge of radiation therapy, how well you stick to your treatment plan, and your satisfaction with treatment. The current recruitment status is unclear.

What this trial measures
- Radiation Therapy (RT) Knowledge Questionnaire: baseline prior to first randomization (within 1 week of enrollment for both breast and prostate cancer) and before CT simulation visit, and again during CT simulation visit (1-4 weeks from enrollment for both breast and prostate cancer)
Subjects will complete the "RT Knowledge Questionnaire" to measure the change in the subjects' understanding of radiation therapy. This will be administered twice- once prior the subject receiving either the AVI or written brochure on RT knowledge and before CT simulation, and again on the same day after CT simulation.
- Radiation Therapy (RT) Adherence Scoreup to 6 weeks after completion of Radiation Therapy
Reflects the frequency of unplanned treatment and clinic absence as well as subject compliance of provider recommendations
- Radiation Therapy (RT) Satisfaction Questionnaireduring or immediately prior to the end-of-treatment visit (4-6 weeks from enrollment for breast cancer, 4-9 weeks from enrollment for prostate cancer)
