Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to develop and evaluate a computer-based decision aid DA for use by men considering PSA screening for prostate cancer Major medical organizations recommend that men discuss the risks and benefits of this test with their physician before making the decision This educational interactive DA will help them prepare for that discussion
Detailed Description:
Prostate cancer CaP is a formidable public health problem in the US and in industrialized countries worldwide Methods for primary prevention of CaP are unknown As a result early detection has become a mainstay of cancer control efforts However there is considerable controversy regarding the efficacy of screening in reducing disease-specific mortality In light of this uncertainty major medical organizations including the National Cancer Institute currently recommend that men discuss the pros and cons of CaP screening and make individualized screening decisions with their health care providers However because of constraints on time during medical encounters it is not always feasible for providers to engage in in-depth discussions regarding the complexities of this issue Therefore interventions to promote informed decision-making IDM outside of clinical settings are needed
In this study we propose to 1 develop an interactive computer-based decision aid DA to promote IDM for CaP screening and 2 conduct a randomized controlled worksite trial to evaluate the impact the DA intervention on employed mens ability to make informed decisions regarding CaP This work is designed to be responsive to recent calls for IDM interventions in community settings among diverse populations If successful our findings could validate the effectiveness of DAs to promote IDM for CaP and serve as a model for widespread dissemination thus improving quality of care
