Can better genetic education help men fight prostate cancer?
NCT ID NCT04550845
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how well African American and rural White men understand genetic testing for prostate cancer. Researchers will use educational videos and surveys to measure genetic literacy and knowledge. The goal is to help men make more informed decisions about their prostate cancer treatment.

Inclusion Criteria: * African-American or White men * Living in a rural or urban areas * Age 40 to 95 years old * Able and willing to provide informed consent * English-speaking * Willing to participate in the study. This study will use the United States Department of Agriculture Office of Rural Development's definition of rural, which is as a city or town that has a population less than 50,000 inhabitants to define rural. This study will use the United States Census Bureau's definition of urban, which is a city or town that has a population greater than 50,000 inhabitants to define urban. Exclusion Criteria: Women will be excluded from participating in this study. However, women will be recruited to serve on an advisory panel to review the video-based educational tool for the comprehension of genomic terminology for prognostic genetic testing in patients with localized prostate cancer.
