A Neighborhood-Based Intervention to Reduce Prostate Cancer Disparities
This clinical trial studies how well an educational intervention works in increasing
knowledge about prostate cancer in high-risk neighborhoods. Learning about prostate cancer
and the pros and cons of screening for prostate cancer may increase knowledge about prostate
cancer while decreasing anxiety and concerns about prostate cancer screening.
knowledge about prostate cancer in high-risk neighborhoods. Learning about prostate cancer
and the pros and cons of screening for prostate cancer may increase knowledge about prostate
cancer while decreasing anxiety and concerns about prostate cancer screening.
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To identify neighborhoods with disproportionately high rates of advanced prostate cancer
and describe patient- and neighborhood-level risk factors associated with the high-risk
neighborhoods.
II. To develop, using a mixed methods approach, a targeted educational intervention about
prostate cancer for men who live in high risk neighborhoods.
III. To test the impact of the targeted intervention on levels of knowledge, anxiety, and
informed decision making about prostate cancer (PCa) screening.
IV. To observe the rates of PCa screening in the intervention and control groups.
