Health coaching to help Black men get prostate germline genetic testing
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study tests a community health coach to help Black men with prostate cancer understand and access genetic testing that looks for inherited cancer risk. It may help you talk with your care team about testing and reduce barriers to getting results.

This study collects saliva and health/family history information to learn how inherited (genetic) factors relate to prostate cancer. The goal is to improve how treatment and future screening are planned for people and families.
This study tests a new tool to help Black or African American men with prostate cancer understand genetic testing options. The goal is to improve counseling and decision-making about tumor genetic testing.
This study looks at how Veterans with advanced prostate cancer make decisions about gene testing and possible targeted treatments, and how patients and caregivers understand the information. It may help by improving decision support for people facing germline and tumor testing choices.
This study aims to understand how to better support people from underserved groups, such as Black African and Caribbean men, transgender and non-binary people with a prostate, and those with limited access to healthcare, in using genetic services for prostate cancer. By participating in interviews or focus groups, you can help shape more inclusive and accessible care.
This trial offers support from a trained peer to help African American men understand and go through genetic testing for prostate cancer. It may help you feel less overwhelmed and better prepared during the testing and decision-making process.
This study tests a program that trains men (especially African American men) to help others understand prostate cancer genetic counseling and testing. It may improve access to this information by using peer support and patient navigation.
