The investigators propose to conduct pilot work to inform our knowledge of optimal methods of utilizing QPLs and will use the QPL-CT as an example. The investigators will leverage e-technologies to provide an online version of the QPL-CT, that patients access via available iPads, enabling both the real-time prioritizing of patient questions as well as the seamless delivery of these questions to their treating physician (and other members of their clinical team) via the VCU Health System (VCUHS) patient portal, and the EMR prior to a consultation to discuss a clinical trial. The investigators will use a pilot randomized clinical trial design to demonstrate the efficacy of the online QPL-CT versus a paper and pencil QPL-CT to increase question asking, patient understanding of trial information and reduce patients conflict over their upcoming decision to join a trial
