Building Capacity Within the NCORP Network Through an Education and Mentorship Intervention for Advanced Practice Providers (COACH-APP)
Wake Forest University Health Sciences
Summary
This clinical trial evaluates whether a mentorship and education intervention called COACH-APP works to improve advanced practice providers' (APPs) confidence in their ability to participate in clinical research (research self-efficacy). APPs are skilled clinicians who are routinely part of cancer care teams, but who may not routinely be part of the research care team at community oncology sites. The COACH-APP program provides focused education and structured mentorship to assist in meaningful integration to the research care team, which may increase research self-efficacy among APPs and ultimately improve patient care and access to clinical trials.
Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: I. To compare change in research self-efficacy (RSE) scores from baseline to end of study (12 months post-randomization) between APPs in the COACH-APP intervention compared to the education control.
