Veteran Peer Guides for Prostate Screening Decisions
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study looks at whether having a veteran peer guide (someone who's been through it) helps men make better-informed decisions about PSA tests for prostate cancer. It aims to make the decision process easier to understand.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests an English decision aid (a patient guide) to help older men understand and feel comfortable with “active surveillance” for localized prostate cancer. It also checks how easy to use it is for patients, caregivers, and prostate cancer clinicians.
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 tests a decision aid to help men aged 65 and older with early-stage prostate cancer decide whether to choose active surveillance (monitoring the cancer instead of immediate treatment). The goal is to see if the tool helps men and their care partners make a more informed choice.
This study looks at how genetic risk and regular screening can help find prostate cancer earlier. It may help you and other Veterans understand what screening is best for different risk levels and access needs.
This study tests a digital support tool that helps you understand your prostate cancer diagnosis and treatment options. It uses artificial intelligence to guide you through educational materials and connect you with support resources.
This study looks at what affects mental health while men with prostate cancer take part in a patient empowerment program. It may help you and others by testing a practical support approach delivered through email, texts, and online videos.
