Peer-Based Intervention for Genetic Evaluation for Prostate Cancer Among African American Men: The Peer Genetic Study

This trial studies how well a peer-based health education program works in reducing barriers and changing attitudes and beliefs of prostate cancer genetic screening in African American participants with or without a previous personal or family history of prostate cancer. Participating in a peer-based health educational program may help participants learn more about prostate cancer and how their personal or family history of disease may increase their risk of prostate cancer.
