The purpose of this study is to evaluate a new counseling tool for patients deciding whether
or not to undergo prostate cancer screening. This screening decision aid is a computer
program that provides individual patients estimates of their risks of prostate cancer
diagnosis, prostate cancer related death, or death from any cause. The researchers are
evaluating whether or not patients find this screening decision aid helpful. As part of this
study, participants will be asked for their response on questionnaires.
If patients find the screening decision aid helpful, the researchers will make it available
at other clinic locations.

To conduct a feasibility study on implementing the computer-based screening decision aid for
prostate cancer screening in a primary care setting during a 60-minute interview. To aid in
informed decision making, the screening decision aid will include a graphical representation
of predicted probabilities of prostate cancer diagnosis, prostate cancer-specific mortality,
death from competing causes based on a man's unique demographic information. The study team
will provide standardized counseling followed by individualized counseling with the screening
decision aid. It will assess the quality of the decision making process (patient feels
knowledgeable, informed of the risks/benefits, feels clear about their values, is involved in
the decision), and quality of the decision.
