iCCaRE Consortium Pilot Project 1: Feasibility of a Point of Prostate Cancer Diagnosis Intervention for Newly Diagnosed Black Men

Recruiting
Conditions
Prostate Carcinoma
Interventions
Other: Non-Interventional Study
Registration Number
NCT06535802
Lead Sponsor
Mayo Clinic
Brief Summary

This study is being done to determine the acceptance and effectiveness of a virtual robot assistant model at a urology clinic.

Detailed Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. Plan and develop a PPCD iCCaRE ViRA model that will provide social determinants of health (SDOH) navigation services, psycho-oncology support and emotional support using qualitative formative research.

II: Establish the acceptance and usability of the iCCaRE ViRA at a urology clinic among 50 Black men (BM).

OUTLINE: This is an observational study. Participants are assigned to 1 of 5 cohorts.

COHORT I: Consumer advocates attend a focus group on study.

COHORT II: Clinicians complete interviews on study.

COHORT III: iCCaRE project representatives test the virtual health intervention, complete a survey, and attend a focus group on study.

COHORT IV: Non iCCaRE affiliated member tests the virtual health intervention, complete a survey, and attends a focus group on study.

COHORT V: Patients complete surveys and participate in the virtual health intervention on study. Patients complete survey and an interview during follow up.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Usability of the iCCaRE ViRABaseline; follow-up interview 3-4 months post visit

Will be assessed by patient immediate reaction and patient delayed feedback.

Point of Prostate Cancer Diagnosis (PPCD) iCCaRE Virtual Robot Assistant (ViRA) modelUp to 4 months

Will be assessed by the length of time needed to create the model. PPCD iCCaRE ViRA model development will be guided by the Translational Research \& Clinical Intervention Services (TRaCIS) and Digital Health \& Human Services (DHHS) core sections of the Inclusive Cancer Care Research Equity (iCCaRE) Consortium. This application (app) will be evaluated in Outcomes 2 and 3. The PPCD iCCaRE ViRA app will provide social determinants of health (SDOH) navigation services, psycho-oncology support and emotional support using qualitative formative research.

Acceptance of the iCCaRE Virtual Robot Assistant (ViRA)Baseline; follow-up interview 3-4 months post visit

Will be assessed by patient immediate reaction and patient delayed feedback.
