Abstract

This study is carried out to investigate multifaceted factors influencing prostate cancer screening uptake among African American men using an in-depth systematic literature review approach. It meticulously analyzes the impact of individual-level factors like knowledge, awareness, and psychological barriers, including cultural and socioeconomic influences. This study emphasizes the importance of targeted and sensitive interventions along with systemic reforms capable of enhancing screening participation and address health outcomes disparities in African American men. By integrating evidence-based insights, this study proposes a comprehensive approach aimed at improving prostate cancer screening rates and reducing health disparities among African American men.
