Can talking to peers help men make better decisions about genetic testing for prostate cancer?

NCT ID NCT05011799

Summary

This study tested whether a peer-led education program could help African American men better understand the risks and benefits of genetic screening for prostate cancer. Researchers worked with 149 men, with or without a family history of prostate cancer, to see if learning from peers reduced confusion and improved decision-making about genetic testing. The goal was to see if this approach could make men feel more confident and informed when considering genetic screening options.
