PREDHICT: Precision Recruitment and Engagement of Diabetics and Hypertensives in Clinical Studies

For the sub-study, this digital navigation tool will both inform/educate, engage, support, and navigate participants and providers through the process of clinical trial participation via personalization (data profiling, adaptive and customized messaging, and tailored digital navigation) in a sample of 100 participants with diabetes and hypertension.

To identify provider- and system-level facilitators (solutions) of clinical trial participation that can be in corporated in the digital navigation tool. We will pay special emphasis on the behavior research volunteerism and altruism and individuals who are at risk for cardio metabolic conditions. To develop solutions that will address patient-, provider and system-level barriers preventing clinical trial participation Objective 2: To test the adherence, feasibility, and efficacy of a research volunteerism and altruism component of a health and wellness web app. that provides personalized newsfeeds and curriculum about research and health-related volunteer and altruistic activities versus traditional patient navigation procedures and resources in clinical trial awareness.'awareness/knowledge, attitudes, willingness to participate in clinical trial, self-efficacy, and share knowledge about clinical trial opportunities to social network. To determine which elements of the digital tool and mobil app are associated with increased awareness/knowledge, intent to participate, and contagion
