PSA TOOL for Prostate Cancer Screening Discussions

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Prostate Cancer

In brief

The study team created a tool to help identify patients who may benefit from shared decision making in the primary care setting. This tool is a guide to aid in decision making for prostate cancer screening. The team proposes the topics to be discussed in the screening conversation include the risk for developing prostate cancer based upon age, race/ethnicity, family history of prostate cancer, history of previous digital rectal exam, and history of previous prostate specific antigen (PSA) as well as self-reported health status and preferences for treatment. The team now proposes 1) testing this tool first for ease of use in primary care clinics 2) revising this tool based upon feedback from patients and providers, then 3) testing this tool for effectiveness in improving patient knowledge that they have an option to be screened for prostate cancer and of specific factors to be considered in the screening decision.
