Expanding Genetic Access for Prostate Cancer Survivors (NCT07618520)
Expanding Genetic Access and Guided Education for Prostate Cancer Survivors
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The goal of this study is to increase genetic education and genetic testing for hereditary cancer risk among prostate cancer survivors. The study will: Test the effectiveness of a digital guide (DG+) vs. print guide (Print+) vs. enhanced usual care (EUC) on engagement in genetic education and uptake of genetic testing. Evaluate the impact of the DG+ vs. Print+ vs. EUC on the process that participants use to make decisions and evaluate effects on well-being (also called psychosocial outcomes). Explore the ways (methods) that influence how participants experience the intervention. The main questions this study aims to answer are: which group - the digital guide (DG+) group, print (Print+) group or the EUC group - is more likely to request genetic testing and which group is more likely to get (engage with) genetic education. Participants will be randomly assigned to either the digital guide (DG+) group, the print guide (Print+) group or EUC group. Each group will receive genetic education and have an opportunity to request genetic testing. Researchers will compare the three groups to determine which is most most likely to complete genetic testing (GT) and which group engages more with genetic education.
