proState Cancer Health Education to pRomote Early sreENing Uptake (SCREEN): a Pilot Randomised Control Trial

Prostate cancer is an issue of significant public health concern. Yet in low‐ andmiddle‐income countries like Nigeria, men are adversely affected due to factors includingpoor early prostate cancer screening uptake. Yet a gap remains in addressing this urgentproblem. The proposed study seeks to pilot the feasibility and acceptability of a novelco‐produced workshop intervention called "proState Cancer awareness education to pRomoteEarly screENing uptake (SCREEN) with men who are not or partially up to date with theirscreening. The SCREEN intervention is designed to raise awareness of prostate cancer, itssymptoms, implications for late screening, the benefits of early screening, avenues forscreening uptake, and also addressing anxiety related to screening uptake. The SCREENintervention is low‐intensity and lasts approximately two hours. The proposed study alsoaims to pilot and test the instrument to determine its effectiveness andcost‐effectiveness, including the mechanism by which the intervention might work.
