Brief Summary: The aims of this project are to adapt and extend the use of academic detailing to the dissemination of prostate cancer CaP screening findings to primary care physicians practicing in African American communities The objectives of this study are

1 To test the hypothesis that a community physician-based educational intervention multi-component academic detailing including an interactive digitized web-based program for informed decision-making about prostate cancer and patient education materials designed for low literacy patients will increase physician knowledge positive attitudesbeliefs toward screening and screening options and prostate cancer screening using the digital rectal exam and the serum prostate specific antigen test at baseline 6- and 12-months post- randomization compared to the rate observed in a service- as-usual control

1A To demonstrate the feasibility of disseminating the American Cancer Society guidelines for prostate cancer screening among primary care practitioners using multi-component academic detailing

2 To develop models predicting which physician offices are most and least likely to adopt the intervention and to generate hypotheses about tailoring the dissemination of PC screening guidelines to different physician subgroups

The long term goal of this project is to increase prostate cancer screening among African American communities thus decreasing cancer-related morbidity and mortality
Detailed Description: We will conduct a two-arm trial recruiting obtaining consent then assigning 200 physicians offices at random to one of two arms intervention multi-component academic detailing including an interactive digitized CD-ROM focused on the discussion of risks and benefits screening options or alternatives values clarification and mutual decision-making alongside patient education materials designed for low literacy patients or to a service-as-usual control arm We will query 200 physicians about their PC knowledge attitudesbeliefs toward screening and screening options and PSA testing at baseline 6 and 12months post-randomization compared to the rate observed in a service-as-usual control Physician counseling in cancer control will be verified by a chart review at baseline and at 12months post-randomization N750 The instruments will assess prostate cancer knowledge attitudes and beliefs toward screening and uptake of the PSA The nested design uses the physicians office as the unit of randomization and the office as the unit of analysis
