Participant Flow

Participants were recruited from the Denver Metro area between September 2023 and June 2025. The first participant was enrolled on September 20, 2023 and the last participant was enrolled in April 2025.

A total of 277 men expressed interest in participating in the study. Of these, 234 were determined ineligible or were not interested after receiving a description of the study and 43 reported for consent and screening. Thirty three were not eligible and 10 were enrolled into the study.
