This research study is exploring how to help African-American men newly diagnosed with early-stage prostate cancer make better-informed treatment decisions. Researchers want to test whether a specially designed educational supplement—written in plain, easy-to-understand language—can help patients feel more confident and clear about their treatment choices and what side effects to expect.
Many patients don't fully understand their treatment options or possible side effects after talking with their doctor, which can make decision-making harder and more stressful. This study aims to see whether providing simple, written educational materials after your doctor visit can help you better grasp your choices and feel less torn about which treatment path to take.

You will meet with a researcher who will ask you questions about your understanding of prostate cancer treatment options and side effects—first after your regular doctor visit, and again after you receive a written educational supplement designed to explain things in simple language. The study team will also compare what your urologist thinks you understand with what you actually say you understand, to see how well the new educational material helps bridge that gap.
