Timeline
Interventions
Forty five minute cognitive-affective preparation session, wherein individuals were encouraged to experience and self-assess their personal reactions to the information they had just received about their prostate cancer risk status, and to anticipate ("pre-live") and role play their potential psychological reactions to normal and abnormal test results and associated follow-up diagnostic and management recommendations. Combined with standard Prostate Risk Assessment Program (Group Prostate Cancer Education Session, Individual Counseling, Screening feedback)
A general health educational comparison session administered by research staff in order to equate for factual content, time, and attention. Participants in this session received information of relevance to men at risk for Pca, focusing on recommendations for general health (i.e., diet, exercise, alcohol use, and smoking) and were encouraged to freely probe, explore, and discuss their own attitudes, beliefs, expectations, and feelings about these topics in an interactive format.
