Brief Summary:
This pilot clinical trial studies how well social media listening works in improving clinical trial recruitment in patients with cancer. Social media listening and recruitment on Twitter may enhance enrollment for cancer-related clinical trials.
Detailed Description:
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Examine the feasibility (acceptance among University of Southern California \[USC\] Norris study team members and Twitter users in Los Angeles \[LA\] county) of targeted social media listening (SML) via Twitter as a tool for enhancing recruitment to cancer trials.
II. Gain preliminary data on the impact (i.e., numbers recruited versus projected accrual compared to historic recruitment) of targeted social media listening (SML) as a tool for enhancing recruitment to cancer trials among Twitter users in LA county.
III. Estimate the effect size of the number of people enrolled associated with the use of targeted social media listening (SML) via Twitter as a tool for enhancing recruitment to cancer trials.
OUTLINE:
Patients who mention specific cancer disease keywords and/or hashtags are identified and receive a message via Twitter. Patients are then contacted for recruitment into a clinical trial.
