NCT ID NCT07437482
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is testing a co-created digital health literacy tool designed to help people better understand prostate cancer prevention and care. Researchers will enroll 3,100 adults aged 40 and older, including patients, caregivers, and healthcare professionals, across six European countries. The goal is to see if the tool improves shared decision-making and knowledge about prostate cancer compared to usual care.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Co-created digital health literacy intervention
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a proven strategy to help people better understand prostate cancer information and make more informed decisions with their doctors.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage, observational-style trial focused on education, not a treatment. The intervention may not significantly change behavior or outcomes, and results may vary across different populations.

Who is studied
Study participants will be recruited from the general population, patients, caregivers, and healthcare professionals in participating European countries, including Spain, Portugal, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Croatia. The population will primarily include adults aged 40 years and older, reflecting the age group at risk for prostate cancer, as well as healthcare professionals involved in prostate cancer care and communication. Recruitment will take place through healthcare centres, patient organisations, community groups, and professional networks. The study will aim to include individuals from diverse socioeconomic, educational, and cultural backgrounds, including vulnerable populations such as migrants, minorities, and people with lower digital or health literacy levels, to ensure that the intervention is relevant and applicable across different social contexts.
