Summary

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.

Detailed description

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.
