Synopsis/Description:
The goal of the video is to assist people living with HIV in making
the decision around participation in a clinical trial. The video
uses narratives from clinical trial participants to explain what
clinical trials are, the differences between phase I, II, and III,
why placebos are used, and what mandatory safeguards are.
Synopsis of NRC Consumer Reviews: One reviewer said that
this is a "quality video, which is clear, easy to understand, professional
and very effective." The reviewers liked that bilingual, cultural
and linguistic concerns are addressed. Another reviewer remarked
that it does not "sway the viewer one way (to participate) or the
other (not to participate)," but instead it "communicates the basics."
The reviewers agreed that this video would be an effective tool
for promoting group discussion and encouraging a healthy decision
making process. They also agreed that case managers, HIV/AIDS educators,
and physicians would most likely distribute this piece.
Important
Notes: The NRC content reviewer noted that the video has little
scientific information regarding the nature of clinical trials,
how drugs are administered and what they cost. Instead, the video
fosters discussion among participants and their physicians considering
to participate in a trial.
