Summary

This clinical trial evaluates an educational escape room intervention for improving awareness of and concern about breast cancer misinformation and reducing vulnerability to believing cancer misinformation among patients with stage I-III breast cancer. Misinformation, or communication about health information that is inaccurate or false, can have serious health consequences for those that believe it. The rise of the access to and use of various sources of information on the internet such as websites and social media has caused the spread of misinformation and disinformation to grow rapidly, resulting in negative consequences on health outcomes. Cancer misinformation, in particular, has become an increasingly prevalent issue that poses a real threat to the many cancer patients in the United States. The educational escape room intervention is a game designed to teach participants how to discern whether cancer nutrition information is accurate or may potentially be misinformation. Participants are immersed in the narrative while solving puzzles to learn key themes such as the need to talk to their doctors, looking for scientific studies, as well as avoiding fads and trends, miracle cures, anecdotal evidence, and targeted and clickbait ads.
