Targeted prostate cancer (PCa) education increased concern and intention to screen in at-risk men. This intervention may help reduce ethnic disparities in PCa outcomes by improving knowledge and screening intentions.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Public Health
  • Health Disparities

Background:

  • Ethnic disparities in prostate cancer (PCa) outcomes persist.
  • Understanding the role of knowledge and attitudes is crucial for addressing these disparities.
  • Targeted educational interventions may mitigate PCa outcome differences.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the impact of a targeted PCa educational intervention versus a healthy lifestyle control on PCa knowledge, concern, and screening intention.
  • To assess changes in these outcomes over time in at-risk populations.
  • To inform strategies for reducing ethnic disparities in PCa.

Main Methods:

  • A randomized controlled trial involving 239 men in high-PCa burden neighborhoods in Philadelphia.
  • Intervention group received targeted PCa education; control group received healthy lifestyle education.

  • Surveys administered at baseline, post-session, 1-month, and 4-month follow-ups; analyzed using linear mixed effect regression models.

    • Main Results:

    • Both groups showed significant increases in PCa knowledge and screening intention over 4 months.
    • PCa concern significantly increased in the intervention group immediately post-session and at 1-month follow-up.
    • No baseline differences were observed between the groups.

    Conclusions:

    • Gathering at-risk men for discussions about PCa can enhance their knowledge and intention to discuss screening with a doctor.
    • Targeted PCa education shows promise in increasing concern and screening intentions.
    • Further research is needed to confirm the long-term impact on screening behaviors and health outcomes.
