“…Although groups of individuals are randomized in cluster RCTs, individual-level data collection and analysis are still possible if appropriate analytical techniques are used to account for data correlation (11,60,61). Many investigators have conducted cluster RCT studies in community-based settings (14,41). Indeed, cluster RCTs may be politically more feasible because, rather than randomizing individuals within a single community, no one in the treatment community is excluded from program participation.…”

The most threatening public health challenges today are chronic and complex and require joint effort from academic researchers in partnership with clinical and public health practitioners to identify and implement sustainable solutions that work in the real world. Practice-based research offers researchers and practitioners an underutilized way forward, an opportunity to work together to design and test feasible, evidence-based programs to address our greatest challenges. In this article, we outline the need for practice-based evidence, tools, and strategies that investigators can use to generate practicebased evidence, describe approaches to translating practice-based evidence into practice, and offer recommendations for making practice-based research the norm in public health.

“…6 However, USPSTF guideSystematic review registration number N/A lines do not directly address racial and ethnic disparities in PCa, possibly underestimating the lost benefits of discontinuing testing in high-risk ethnic groups, specifically in AA men. 8,9 Despite these shifting guidelines, the call for informed decision making (IDM) for all men, including ethnic minorities, has remained a constant. 10 IDM is important for minorities, such as AA men, who are disproportionately affected by PCa.…”

Interventions to Improve Decision Making and Reduce Racial and Ethnic Disparities in the Management of Prostate Cancer: A Systematic Review

OBJECTIVES: Ethnic minorities are disproportionately impacted by prostate cancer (PCa) and are at risk for not receiving informed decision making (IDM). We conducted a systematic literature review on interventions to improve: (1) IDM about PCa in screeningeligible minority men, and (2) quality of life (QOL) in minority PCa survivors. DATA SOURCES: MeSH headings for PCa, ethnic minorities, and interventions were searched in MED-LINE, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, CINAHL, and PsycINFO. SUBJECT ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA: We identified U.S.-based, English-language articles (1985-2010) on interventions to improve PCa IDM and QOL that included 50 % or more minority patients or analyses stratified by race/ethnicity. STUDY APPRAISAL AND SYNTHESIS METHODS:Articles (n=19) were evaluated and scored for quality using a Downs and Black (DB) system. Interventions were organized by those enhancing 1) IDM about PCa screening and 2) improving QOL and symptom among PCa survivors. Outcomes were reported by intervention type (educational seminar, printed material, telephonebased, video and web-based). RESULTS: Fourteen studies evaluated interventions for enhancing IDM about PCa screening and five evaluated programs to improve outcomes for PCa survivors. Knowledge scores were statistically significantly increased in 12 of 13 screening studies that measured knowledge, with ranges of effect varying across intervention types: educational programs (13 %-48 % increase), print (11 %-18 %), videotape/DVD (16 %), and web-based (7 %-20 %). In the final screening study, an intervention to improve decision-making about screening increased decisional self-efficacy by 9 %. Five cognitive-behavioral interventions improved QOL among minority men being treated for localized PCa through enhancing problem solving and coping skills. LIMITATIONS: Weak study designs, small sample sizes, selection biases, and variation in follow-up intervals across studies. CONCLUSIONS: Educational programs were the most effective intervention for improving knowledge among screening-eligible minority men. Cognitive behavioral strategies improved QOL for minority men treated for localized PCa.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the knowledge level regarding prostate cancer screenings and to examine the related factors. Material and methods:The data of this cross-sectional study were collected in 2011. Data were collected from 243 individuals who were aged 60 and above in two family health centers in the province of Kars. Personal information forms and a knowledge test of prostate cancer screenings were used for data collection. Results:The average age of the participants was 67.61±5.96 years, and the mean knowledge score was 4.85±2.38. The knowledge level of prostate cancer screenings was found to be higher in individuals who are high school and higher education graduates, have health insurance, have previously had their PSA levels measured and with family members who have been diagnosed with prostate cancer. It was determined that other variables did not affect the participants' knowledge level. Conclusion:No individual in this study received a perfect score on the knowledge test. Furthermore, the overall mean score on the knowledge test was lower than previous studies. Interventional studies aimed at increasing the knowledge level may helpful.
