Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial aims to establish a Community Living Labs (CoLLab) Learning Health System to enhance access to prostate health services for Black men. The study will compare the impact of this system at three American Legion Posts against a control post without the CoLLab setup. Community health workers will facilitate education and access to prostate cancer screening and services, with the goal of improving health outcomes. Participants will engage with the CoLLab services at least twice a month for up to one year.
