Passive Education
Education: QR codes will be posted at each barber's station within a barber shop, as well as on other study materials located within the shop. The QR code recruitment mechanism will encourage potential participants to complete a Prostate Cancer Knowledge and Risk Assessment questionnaire (ie. Screener) which acts as a screener for study eligibility. The screener can be completed by scanning the QR code with a cell phone while in the barbershop. Barbers will encourage their clients to complete the Screener.
Education by Community Navigator
A community navigator will be onsite to assist in information delivery, navigation to resources, and encourage the completion of the Screener through the QR code. Participants can opt to connect with the community navigator if they have questions, need assistance in scheduling a PSA screening, or if they have other resource needs. The community navigator will help participants connect with a primary care provider to continue with all preventive healthcare recommendations.
Education at Community Outreach Screening Event
The Community Navigator will set up PSA screening events at specific barber shops for participants who wish to move forward with screenings.
