Inclusion Criteria: * Be able to speak and read English * Be diagnosed with cancer * Have been informed of their eligibility for a specific phase II or III therapeutic clinical trial open for enrollment at the participating NCI Community Oncology Research Program (NCORP) site * Have already met one or more eligibility criteria and have a reasonable expectation of meeting any remaining eligibility criteria for the therapeutic clinical trial * Be capable of providing written informed consent for study participation Exclusion Criteria: * Participants must not have been asked previously to participate in another therapeutic cancer clinical trial * Participants must not have already made a decision to participate in the phase II or III therapeutic clinical trial for which they were informed of their eligibility * Participants must not have documented or observable visual, auditory, psychiatric, or neurological disorders that would interfere with study participation (e.g., blindness, deafness, psychosis, or dementia) * Participants must not be eligible only for phase I trial; these patients are excluded because few of these trials are offered at NCORP sites and because their design and goals differ considerably from those of phase II and III trials
