Decision Support Interventions (DESI) for Prostate Cancer Screening - Study 1

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Healthy Men Age 50 Who Are Considering PSA Screening

In brief

In this study we will compare 3 strategies for systematic delivery of prostate cancer screening decision support interventions (DESI) to usual care and examine their impact on screening decisions and subsequent healthcare utilization using a randomized control design. We hypothesize men who are given the opportunity to review a DESI by one of the 3 strategies will be less likely to opt for prostate cancer screening, and will have lower subsequent healthcare utilization than men in the control group.
