Navigate Study: Use of a Community-Based Health Coach to Improve Access to Germline Genetic Testing Among African American Men With Prostate Cancer
University of California, San Francisco
Summary
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.
Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To assess uptake of genetic testing using tailored education strategies and culturally relevant cancer resources delivered by a community-based health coach (Initial Pilot Cohorts). II. To assess barriers to the intervention (Part 1). III. To evaluate consent rate of germline testing among participants receiving the intervention (Part 2). SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To assess decisional conflict among African American men receiving tailored education strategies and culturally relevant cancer resources on genetic testing delivered by a community-based health coach (Initi…
