To encourage a frank and informed discussion with a health care provider, including all options for treatment including active surveillance and the potential morbidity associated with all strategies
To develop a better understanding of baseline screening practices in health care providers in the St. Louis Region and baseline knowledge about high-risk communities
To determine if our educational and marketing plan improves the baseline knowledge of prostate cancer in high-risk communities and influences screening practices in high-risk men.
