DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal is for the development, implementation, and evaluation of a series of regional conferences under the collaboration of the National Black Leadership Initiative on Cancer III Community Networks Program: (NBLIC III), and the Second Opinion Society (SOS). The black men and prostate cancer series entitled, "A Black Man Can... Fight Prostate Cancer," is designed to increase the lay public's knowledge and awareness of the disproportionate burden of prostate cancer in black males in the United States (U.S.). Black males in the U.S. include African Americans, Afro-Caribbeans, and native Africans living in the U.S. We believe that a series of regional scientific conferences is an effective strategy that can be used to inform black men who are at-risk for, or affected by, prostate cancer about risk factors, prevention, early detection, treatment and social support resources. To achieve the conference aims, we have developed a conference agenda that provides conference attendees with information and strategies aimed at addressing prostate cancer disparities in black males. The conference will: [1] expose attendees to the latest information related to prostate cancer risk and outcomes and its relationship to race/ethnicity and socioeconomic status, as well as cancer-related technologies, cancer research findings relevant to black males, social support resources, and available treatment options; [2] discuss barriers to recruiting black males into prostate cancer prevention and intervention clinical trials; [3] present effective lifestyle behaviors that may be used to decrease prostate cancer risk, and [4] discuss strategies to engage the black community in building a cadre of persons who can provide cancer information and social support to prostate cancer survivors.

描述（由申请人提供）：本提案旨在发展、实施和评估由国家黑人领导倡议癌症III社区网络计划（NBLIC III）和第二意见协会（SOS）合作举办的一系列区域会议。黑人和前列腺癌的系列题为“黑人可以……”“抗击前列腺癌”，旨在提高公众对美国黑人男性前列腺癌不成比例负担的认识和意识。美国的黑人男性包括非洲裔美国人、非洲-加勒比人以及生活在美国的非洲原住民。我们认为，一系列的区域科学会议是一种有效的策略，可以用来告知有患前列腺癌风险或受前列腺癌影响的黑人男性有关风险因素、预防、早期发现、治疗和社会支持资源。为了实现会议目标，我们制定了一个会议议程，为与会者提供旨在解决黑人男性前列腺癌差异的信息和策略。会议将：b[1]向与会者展示有关前列腺癌风险和结局及其与种族/民族和社会经济地位的关系的最新信息，以及癌症相关技术，与黑人男性相关的癌症研究成果，社会支持资源和可用的治疗方案；讨论招募黑人男性参与前列腺癌预防和干预临床试验的障碍；[3]提出有效的生活方式行为，可以用来降低前列腺癌的风险，[4]讨论策略，使黑人社区建立一个骨干人员，可以提供癌症信息和社会支持的前列腺癌幸存者。
