How do you approach prostate cancer screening?

You are eligible if you provide adult primary care in internal medicine or family medicine as a:

• Physician (MD or DO)
• Nurse practitioner
• Physician assistant

Residents and students are not part of this survey.

• A few questions about your practice setting
• How you usually handle PSA screening
• What you would do in three brief patient cases
• What happens after an elevated PSA
• Your views, and the barriers you run into

For the practice and opinion questions there are no right or wrong answers. We want to know what clinicians really do and think.

Taking part is voluntary. You can skip any question or stop at any time.

Your answers are confidential. The study team analyzes responses without names or email addresses, and results are reported only as group totals. No individual clinician or clinic will be identified in any presentation or publication.

The survey is led by residents in the internal medicine and family medicine residency programs, working with medical students. The study is conducted through the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) and the Alice L. Walton School of Medicine.

Review board: IRB name and protocol number

Why am I being asked?

We are inviting every primary care clinician we can reach in the region, so the results reflect local practice as a whole.

Will my clinic or employer see my answers?

No. Only combined results are shared.

Can I complete it more than once?

Please complete it only once.

Will I see the results?

We plan to send a one-page summary to participating clinics when the study is finished.
