Social Factors for Prostate Cancer
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial explores how social factors influence the health decisions of immigrant men from Sub-Saharan Africa and the Caribbean, focusing on prostate cancer care and survivorship. It aims to understand the differences and similarities in health-seeking behaviors among men from various African regions. Participants will engage in surveys and interviews to share their experiences. Men who have prostate cancer, immigrated from Sub-Saharan Africa or the Caribbean, and speak English may be suitable for this study.
As an unphased study, this research provides participants the opportunity to contribute to a deeper understanding of cultural influences on health decisions, potentially improving care for their communities.
Why are researchers excited about this trial?
Researchers are excited about this trial because it explores how social determinants impact prostate cancer care and survivorship among Sub-Saharan African and Caribbean immigrant men. Unlike traditional treatments that focus solely on the biological aspects of prostate cancer, this approach seeks to understand and address the social and cultural factors that influence patient outcomes. By gathering insights through surveys and interviews, the trial aims to uncover barriers to care and improve support systems, potentially leading to more personalized and effective interventions for these communities.
