Article Synopsis
- There is a lack of research examining the communication around prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing among men in Florida, focusing on how discussions between providers and patients affect testing rates.
- The study used data from the Florida Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System to analyze how the content and context of communication correlated with PSA testing, employing logistic regression to account for various factors.
- Key findings indicated that physician recommendations, open discussions about the pros and cons of PSA testing, and having a personal doctor were significant predictors of whether men received PSA testing, suggesting targeted approaches could reduce disparities in prostate cancer screening.
