Prostate Cancer Screening Discussion Guide & Decision Aid

This decision aid is designed to help providers when talking with patients about prostate cancer screening, in doctors’ offices and other healthcare settings. The conversation guide provides prompts to begin the conversation, an overview of the pros and cons of the PSA test, and information about risk to facilitate a shared decision-making discussion between providers and their patients.

The attached patient decision aid provides people with a prostate with information about key points to consider while making a “shared decision” with their providers about whether getting screened for prostate cancer is the right decision for them.
