- •Patients who have had a history of non-cutaneous malignancy in the previous 5 years are not eligible; exception: patients with history of non-melanoma skin cancer are eligible
- •Scheduled prostate cancer consultation to be the first consultation after diagnosis (i.e. not a second-opinion or a consultation following previous discussions of treatment options)
- •Patients may not be concurrently enrolled to another clinical trial for the treatment of cancer; co-enrollment to biospecimen studies is allowed
- •Patients with impaired decision-making capacity (such as with a diagnosis of dementia or memory loss) are not eligible for this study

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Knowledge Assessed by Prostate Cancer Treatment Questionnaire
Time Frame: 12 months
The primary outcome, knowledge, will be assessed by a standardized questionnaire (i.e., Prostate Cancer Treatment Questionnaire) administered once, immediately after the clinical consultation while the patient is still at the study site. The number correct from this 12-item measure will be reduced to a proportion of total number correct. With 1.0 (12 out of 12 item average) being the best possible outcome and 0.0 (0 out of 12 item average) the worst possible outcome
Secondary Outcomes
- Utilization as Determined by Chart Review(12 months)
- Decisional Quality as Measured by Decisional Regret Scale(12 months)
- Quality of Life Assessed by Questionnaire(12 months)
