Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This clinical trial studies an informed decision making intervention of screening for prostate cancer in predominantly African American participants. It also evaluates participants' knowledge about prostate cancer screening and to improve understanding. Using decision aids such as culturally sensitive written material, verbal information, and videos to educate patients about screening may increase patient participation and knowledge. This may increase confidence in participants' decisions. Raising awareness about prostate cancer in the communities may increase the participants' willingness to be screened for prostate cancer once they have learned about it.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

(A) To assess the effectiveness of a proposed educational model for informed decision about Prostate Cancer in high risk men over age 40 which compares informed decision making and shared decision making (B) to improve knowledge about prostate cancer in men over age 18

OUTLINE:

Participants complete an educational intervention comprising a 10-20 minute PowerPoint presentation given by an experienced healthcare professional that discusses prostate cancer facts, screening guidelines, risks, benefits, and consequences. Some participants then undergo a screening exam comprising a prostate specific antigen level and digital rectal exam.

After completion of study, participants are followed up periodically.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Men over 40: Screening with intervention

Participants over the age of 40 complete an educational intervention comprising a 10-20 minute PowerPoint presentation given by an experienced healthcare professional that discusses prostate cancer facts, screening guidelines, risks, benefits, and consequences. Participants may undergo a screening exam comprising a prostate specific antigen level and digital rectal exam.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Educational Intervention

Intervention Type OTHER

Attend 10-20 minute PowerPoint presentation that will discuss prostate cancer facts, screening guidelines, risks, benefits, and consequences

digital rectal examination

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Undergo digital rectal exam by a licensed healthcare professional. The results of this exam will be subjective as per clinician; however, will be coded as normal or abnormal. This is considered standard of care for prostate cancer screening

Pre-test administration

Intervention Type OTHER

15 questions which test participants' knowledge of prostate cancer according to ACS guidelines. Questions will be multiple choices and true/false/unsure answers

Survey Administration

Intervention Type OTHER

Survey will be administered at the end of the program for participants to assess their experience

Prostate-specific antigen measurement

Intervention Type OTHER

PSA levels will be drawn and run as per institutional Laboratory standards. Criteria for referral and follow up will be assessed as per National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines

Post test administration

Intervention Type OTHER

Post test will include the same 15 questions as on the pretest to assess for improvement in knowledge and understanding

Men 18-39: Educational intervention

Participants between 18 and 39 complete an educational intervention comprising a 10-20 minute PowerPoint presentation given by an experienced healthcare professional that discusses prostate cancer facts, screening guidelines, risks, benefits, and consequences.
