Using a mHealth App to Improve Quality-of-Life Outcomes in Black Prostate Cancer Survivors

This group will take scheduled electronic surveys (at the beginning of the study, months 3, 6, 9, and 12) to assess the overall impact of prostate cancer on quality of life (QoL).

This group will take scheduled electronic surveys (at the beginning of the study, months 3, 6, 9, and 12) to assess the overall impact of prostate cancer on quality of life (QoL). Additionally, they will have a brief "initial study visit," in-person or virtually, to review the app use. This arm of participants will use the mobile application at home for 12 months. During the first 12 weeks, the application will send daily surveys about symptoms, dietary and physical activities, weekly surveys about their mood, and an assessment of their overall QoL every 3 months. The app will provide tailored educational content, including short readings, videos, and audio recordings, to help users learn more about managing symptoms and improving their functioning. After 12 months of app use, an interview will be conducted to gather feedback about their experiences with the app. The information collected from these interviews will be analyzed to further enhance and improve the app's functionality.
