This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study is testing whether having a peer navigator — someone who has lived through prostate cancer — can help African American men feel more supported and informed during genetic testing. Right now, some men get genetic counseling and testing the standard way. This trial compares that to having a peer navigator walk you through the whole process, answering your questions and helping you understand what the results mean.
African American men with prostate cancer often face barriers to getting genetic testing, including feeling uncertain about the process or disconnected from their healthcare team. This study wants to see if having a trusted peer guide you through genetic evaluation can make the experience less overwhelming and help you make better decisions about your care.

You will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. One group will work with a peer navigator who helps you schedule genetic counseling, answer your questions about testing, collect your saliva sample, and explain your results to you. The other group will receive standard genetic counseling and testing without the peer navigator. In both cases, you will have genetic counseling, undergo genetic testing, get your results, and receive recommendations — the difference is whether you have peer support throughout the process.
