About

This is a pilot evaluation of a patient-centered intervention that enables providers to support men on active surveillance to maximize adherence. Conducted in urology practices, this pilot will measure key patient-reported, provider-reported, and implementation outcomes. Successful completion of this work will inform a subsequent multi-center effectiveness-implementation hybrid design trial and ultimately will improve low-risk cancer management by effectively engaging Primary Care Physicians (PCPs) in care delivery.
