African American communities are disproportionately impacted by prostate cancer (PCa) compared to other racial/ethnic groups. Whereas the incidence of PCa in Hispanic/Latino men is lower than the incidence in non-Hispanic/Latino White men, Hispanic/Latino men are more likely to be diagnosed with PCa in late stages, and less likely to be knowledgeable about PCa, resulting in significant disparities. We developed, culturally adapted, translated, implemented, and evaluated a PCa Cancer Advocacy Training in African American and Hispanic/Latino/a communities. Culturally and language specific content for African American and Hispanic/Latino/a patients on PCa causes, risk factors, epidemiology, detection, diagnosis, and treatment were delivered through a workshop and simultaneously broadcasted in Spanish in Los Angeles County (n = 29) and in English in Tallahassee, FL (n = 9). Pre- and posttest surveys assessed impact. Pre vs post differences were statistically significant in knowledge (5.0 ± 1.6 vs 6.3 ± 1.1) and advocacy intentions (3.9 ± 0.9 vs 4.3 ± 0.8), on correctly identifying warning signs for PCa (50% vs 87%), intent to inform and educate about PCa within the next 3 months (69% vs 95%), to ensure that high-quality research is sensitive to the priorities of patients (63% vs 84%), to help increase patient recruitment, compliance, and retention for clinical trials within the next month (62% vs 84%), intent to engage in PCa patient education within the next 3 months (67% vs 92%...
