Summary

This is a multicenter study that involves research on screening for prostate cancer.

The Prostate Cancer Screening Preparation (PCSPrep) tool was designed with intend to be delivered in primary care settings with attention to patient/provider interaction.

Prostate Cancer Screening Decision Aid

All patients recruited to the study will receive the PCSPrep decision aid. There is only 'study arm.' The Clinical Research Coordinator (CRC) will provide the patient with an iPad to complete the pre-test, PCSPrep and post-test. Individuals will see the survey questions on screen and will hear accompanying audio through headsets. Participants will: (1) be introduced to PCSPrep and the menu of activities/topics; (2) enter information about themselves for personal tailoring (e.g., risk factors); (3) participate in a values-clarification exercise to rate the personal importance of varied courses of action (i.e., pros/cons of PCS); (4) receive a printout with an individualized plan for discussing PCS with their primary care provider.
