For how many summers have you served as a preceptor: 3 or more
CCC Research Area: Cancer Control & Population Science
Number of hours per week that the preceptor will personally supervise or work with the intern: 6
Other faculty, staff, or graduate students who may help to supervise the intern:

Title of Project: 43GR – Health Services Research Internship 2
Project Description:
The student will participate in two projects:
1. Evaluating clinical trial participation: One student will work on a series of projects related to improving representation of diverse populations in clinical trials. This will include (1) refining patient materials about the importance of representation of diverse population in clinical trials, (2) developing a policy brief to share with key stakeholders on results from our large database analysis on patients who are traditionally well-represented, underrepresented, and unrepresented in clinical trials, (3) conducting in depth chart review of whether patients were eligible and/or offered a clinical trial during their treatment at UAB, and (4) assist with literature review for manuscript preparation. They will also participate in discussions about analysis and dissemination or results.
2. Implementation of patient-reported outcomes: The student will participate in a research project that evaluated a large-scale implementation of patient-reported outcomes as part of standard of care. The student will take field notes during meetings, participate in qualitative analysis of interviews regarding barriers and facilitators to implementation, and assist with literature review for manuscript preparation. If the student has an analytic background, they will have the opportunity to participate in the quantitative evaluation of the implementation.
The student will gain experience in different types of health services for patients and the nuances of conducting research.
