Description
Summary:A structured participatory approach of group concept mapping (GCM) was used to understand barriers and concerns around prostate cancer screening (PCS) among African American (AA) men. One-hundred thirteen AA men aged 35–70 years enrolled from one urban and three rural counties in Alabama. Eighty-five men brainstormed and generated 41 unique ideas in response to a single prompt. Participants ( n = 70) sorted ideas into groups and rated them in terms of importance and feasibility to change opinions. Multi-dimensional scaling and cluster analysis were used to analyze the data. Participants ( n =50) discussed visual concept maps during three focus-groups and recommended solutions to address key barriers. The mean age of respondents was 52 (±10), 50% were rural, 37% were college-educated, 56% with income
