The Prostate Cancer Screening Program is a randomized controlled trial to evaluate the effectiveness of a CHW-led, decision coaching program to facilitate shared decision making for prostate cancer screening decisions by Black men at a federally qualified health center in New York City (NYC). The study will recruit 144 individuals and the providers who care for them (up to 15). Participants will be randomized to receive a decision aid along with decision coaching on PSA screening from a CHW (treatment group) or a decision aid along with CHW-led interaction on dietary and lifestyle modifications (attention control). The intervention arm will include a review of the prostate cancer screening decision aid and a structured decision counseling session to clarify preferences.
