Community-Based Health Coach for Access to Germline Genetic Testing Among African American Men With Prostate Cancer

Navigate Study: Use of a Community-Based Health Coach to Improve Access to Germline Genetic Testing Among African American Men With Prostate Cancer

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 31 Dec 2025

Brief summary (registry, in English)

This clinical trial studies barriers to genetic testing in African American men with prostate cancer and whether tailored, culturally relevant genetic testing education provided by a community-based health coach is beneficial in improving knowledge, attitudes, and awareness of genetic testing. Information gained from this study, may help researchers better understand and learn more about how to increase access to germline genetic testing in underrepresented populations.
