Cancer Health Literacy and Willingness to Participate in Cancer Research and Donate Bio-Specimens.

ABSTRACT: Although it has been well documented that poor health literacy is associated with limited participation in cancer clinical trials, studies assessing the relationships between cancer health literacy (CHL) and participation in research among diverse populations are lacking.
