Passive Navigation, Active Navigation, and Community-Based Screening to Increase Prostate Cancer Screening for African American Men in Cleveland

Trial Status: active

This trial compares passive navigation, active navigation and community based screenings to increase prostate cancer screenings in African American men living in Cleveland. The combination of adverse social, behavioral, and institutional circumstances results in severe disparities in prostate cancer incidence, detection, and outcomes. Cancer screenings, including prostate specific antigen (PSA) screening, occur in the context of a primary care visit, however many adult men are not regularly seeing a primary care provider for preventive care. Timely PSA testing is particularly important for African American men as they are diagnosed with prostate cancer at an earlier age and at a more advanced stage than white men.
