Summary

This study tests whether a network of peer genetic coaches can help African American men with metastatic prostate cancer overcome barriers to genetic testing. The coaches are trained to provide education, address concerns, and guide men through the testing process. The goal is to see if this approach is feasible and improves access to genetic counseling and testing.
