Study Background
OUHSC is looking for individuals living in Oklahoma to participate in a virtual prostate cancer app research study. The purpose of this study is to test the feasibility of a first-of-its-kind Prostate Cancer Genius App to improve knowledge of prostate cancer risk and symptoms.
PSA testing is not appropriate for all men, so the Genius App will support informed decision-making with a healthcare provider. The Genius App will also provide novel tailored navigation to complete a home-based PSA test for men who opt to screen. To test the app, 80 African American men from Oklahoma (aged 55 and 69) who are not up to date with PSA screening will be randomly assigned 1:1 to use either the Genius app or an existing U.S. Department of Health & Human Services app for 30 days.
