The aim of the project was to identify neighborhoods with disproportionately high rates of advanced prostate cancer and describe patient and neighborhood level risk factors associated with high risk neighborhoods; develop a targeted educational intervention (using a mixed methods approach) about prostate cancer for men who live in high risk neighborhoods; test the impact of the targeted intervention on levels of knowledge, anxiety, and informed decision making about PCa screening; and observe the rates of PCa screening in the intervention and control groups.
