- Prostate cancer disproportionately affects Black men in the U.S., leading to disparities in incidence, survival, and quality of life (QoL).
- The study introduces SAFE-CaPS, a culturally tailored mobile health intervention aimed at improving QoL, symptom self-management, and psychosocial support for Black prostate cancer survivors.
- The 12-month randomized clinical trial will enroll 248 Black survivors, comparing the SAFE-CaPS intervention with standard care (SC).
- SAFE-CaPS includes daily and weekly symptom assessments, adaptive educational modules, automated symptom alerts, and culturally tailored engagement features.
- Primary outcomes focus on overall QoL, with secondary outcomes including symptom domains, mental health, and healthcare engagement.
- Recruitment began in August 2025, with data analysis expected in late 2027 and publication by early 2029.
- The study aims to provide evidence on the feasibility and effectiveness of culturally tailored mobile health interventions for Black prostate cancer survivors.
