Summary

The purpose of this study was to examine whether a cognitive-affective preparation was more beneficial, in general, and more specifically for certain subgroups, such as African-American men and individuals with high monitoring style.

Detailed description

High risk men enrolling in a state of the science Prostate Cancer Risk Assessment Program (N = 128) underwent a Pca counseling visit immediately followed by either a cognitive-affective preparation (CAP) session designed to help men process the information they received or a general health education session to control for time and attention (comparison group). All men chose to participate in Pca screening.

Conditions

• Prostate Cancer

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	Cognitive Affective preparation	Forty five minute cognitive-affective preparation session, wherein individuals were encouraged to experience and self-assess their personal reactions to the information they had just received about their prostate cancer risk status, and to anticipate ("pre-live") and role play their potential psychological reactions to normal and abnormal test results and associated follow-up diagnostic and management recommendations. Combined with standard Prostate Risk Assessment Program (Group Prostate Cancer Education Session, Individual Counseling, Screening feedback)
BEHAVIORAL	General Health Education	A general health educational comparison session administered by research staff in order to equate for factual content, time, and attention. Participants in this session received information of relevance to men at risk for Pca, focusing on recommendations for general health (i.e., diet, exercise, alcohol use, and smoking) and were encouraged to freely probe, explore, and discuss their own attitudes, beliefs, expectations, and feelings about these topics in an interactive format. Combined with standard Prostate Risk Assessment Program (Group Prostate Cancer Education Session, Individual Counseling, Screening feedback)
