The relationships among knowledge, self‐efficacy, preparedness, decisional conflict, and decisions to participate in a cancer clinical trial

Cancer clinical trials (CCTs) are important tools in the development of improved cancer therapies; yet, participation is low. Key psychosocial barriers exist that appear to impact a patient's decision to participate. Little is known about the relationship among knowledge, self‐efficacy, preparation, decisional conflict, and patient decisions to take part in CCTs.
