University of Oklahoma
248 participants
Aug 24, 2025
INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to ensure that the mobile health application for Black patients with prostate cancer (either actively undergoing treatment or survivors) is usable and acceptable to patients, get feedback about how to improve the app and assess its usefulness in examining their quality of life.
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria1
- \- Ethnically-diverse Black prostate cancer (CaP) survivors who are either native-born, Caribbean-born, or African-born, within the early phase of their CaP survivorship journey (defined as within the first five years after diagnosis).
Exclusion Criteria5
- Men from other races.
- Men who have never been diagnosed with CaP
- Men who have the inability to speak English
- Men who do not own a smartphone
- Black CaP survivors who are over 5 years since the time of diagnosis
Interventions
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.
