Improving Health Literacy in African-American Prostate Cancer Patients
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 29 Jan 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
Investigators propose an observational interview study to explore how patients understand treatment conversations with their physicians within the framework of health literacy. The study team will test whether patients' understanding of treatment options and side effects can be improved when patients receive a low literacy educational supplement after meeting with their urologist. Investigators will interview a group of newly diagnosed, early stage, African American prostate cancer patients.
