• Description:
  (N = 666) members of the WTCHP enrolled in our study from a pool of 2546 members. Patients were on average 55.21 years old (7.66 SD. Men were uniformly interested in screening, with an uptake of 97.4% without further physician consultation. Screening led to a small number of follow-up biopsies and to 5 discovered early stage prostate cancers. 3-4 days after their decision was made and at 3 month post baseline, men did not report any high levels of decisional regret, or elevated levels of prostate cancer-related anxiety. Providers rated the program highly as it did not add a significant amount of time to their patient visits. Patient interest in the screening program was high, integrated well into the clinic and with the help of the screening brochure facilitated patient screening decision making. There were no short or long-term psychosocial consequences for being screened. [Description provided by NIOSH]
