Prostate Cancer Decision Study

The Prostate Cancer Decisions study, sponsored by the UW School of Nursing, Biobehavioral Nursing and Health Systems Department, is seeking men who are in the process of making their treatment decision (including watchful waiting) for localized prostate cancer. Participants will be asked to fill out two questionnaire packets. The goals of this study are to improve the decision-making process for men with localized prostate cancer and to help them gain insight into individual considerations in treatment decisions.
