About this study

In plain language

This study tests whether a mobile health app is easy to use and meets the needs of Black men with prostate cancer who are in treatment or are survivors. It will gather feedback to improve the app and see how useful it is for checking their quality of life.

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.

Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.
