Summary

The purpose of this research is to test intervention strategies that encourage and support Black or African American men who are 40 and older to complete prostate cancer screening, and specifically to complete a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test.

Detailed description

This intervention is designed to evaluate the effectiveness of three different approaches to increasing PSA screening in African American men, starting at age 40. The approaches are 1) education and passive navigation, 2) education and active navigation, and 3) education and active navigation with community based outreach. Completion of a PSA blood test is the primary outcome of this study, which will be evaluated four months following the recruitment phase at each shop. At the 4 month follow-up, participants will be asked about PSA completion; participants who completed PSA screening will be asked to provide outcomes from their PSA screening (ie. PSA results and provider recommended next steps), as well as their feelings regarding their screening experience, trust in the screening process, and knowledge about prostate cancer.

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	Passive Education	Education: QR codes will be posted at each barber's station within a barber shop, as well as on other study materials located within the shop. The QR code recruitment mechanism will encourage potential participants to complete a Prostate Cancer Knowledge and Risk Assessment questionnaire (ie. Screener) which acts as a screener for study eligibility. The screener can be completed by scanning the QR code with a cell phone while in the barbershop. Barbers will encourage their clients to complete the Screener.
BEHAVIORAL	Education by Community Navigator	A community navigator will be onsite to assist in information delivery, navigation to resources, and encourage the completion of the Screener through the QR code. Participants can opt to connect with the community navigator if they have questions, need assistance in scheduling a PSA screening, or if they have other resource needs. The community navigator will help participants connect with a primary care provider to continue with all preventive healthcare recommendations.
BEHAVIORAL	Education at Community Outreach Screening Event	The Community Navigator will set up PSA screening events at specific barber shops for participants who wish to move forward with screenings.
