Summary

This study looks at whether an educational supplement—using models and props during a face-to-face interview—can help African-American men newly diagnosed with early-stage prostate cancer better understand their treatment options and side effects. Researchers will interview 210 participants to compare their understanding after standard doctor education versus after the extra supplement. The goal is to improve health literacy and reduce confusion when making treatment decisions.
