Background: Globally, Black men suffer the greatest prostate cancer (CaP) burden. Blacks are diagnosed more at advanced stages of CaP, greater morbidity and mortality and poorer survivorship outcomes. Blacks are exposed to adverse, discriminatory societal determinants. How these determinants impact the CaP disparities, in particular survivorship and health related quality of life inequities are understudied. Studies examining patient-reported outcomes of Black CaP survivors reveal heightened negative HRQOL sequelae, and depression, family, work and living situation instability due to cancer treatment and societal determinants of health (SDOH). SDOH is used mostly in Public Health to predict population health risk and outcomes, but rarely integrated into HRQOL research and practice. This project is novel by incorporating SDOH into the assessment and relief of HRQOL threats. Despite the Black CaP disparities in survivorship, there remains unacceptable lack of focus and prioritization to provide comprehensive relief. Methods: In response to this noticeable scientific gap, our requisite multidisciplinary investigatory team including Survivor-Advocate Investigators joins forces to achieve the study goal. We are employing community engaged research practice to create a CaP survivorship care plan (SCP) template targeted to Blacks. Our SCP will provide a comprehensive best-practice roadmap to document medical information with treatment history and status, along with relevant resources and health advisories to provide relief for unfavorable sequalae due to cancer and its treatments as well as improve quality of life for CaP survivors. We are building upon the Science of Survivorship, and Contextual Socioecological and the Behavioral Precision Medicine Models with full survivor-advocate partnership to create the SCP. This project to develop a SCP template employs an informative consensus panel to inform the initial SCP. Results: Based on advocate-survivor input and guidance, the SCP will include resources and tools focused on SDOH, treatment adherence, treatment side effects and symptom relief, co-occurring chronic conditions, cardio-protective strategies, and physical, emotional and social wellbeing towards improving in patient outcomes and HRQOL in Black CaP survivors. Data from the Engagement Core and Survivor-Advocate Community Advisory Board, and the preliminary SCP CaP for Black men will be presented at the meeting. Conclusion: Our Consortium builds upon the work of the multidisciplinary PIs, and provide team science approach with robust scientific methods to better understand and address the HRQOL needs of Black CaP survivors. Importantly, this research will make available a patient-centered SCP for CaP survivors, focused on Black men. The iCCaRE Consortium will use this SCP_CaP to inform the development of Artificial Intelligence interventions addressing medical, follow-up care, surveillance, social and emotional support, SDOH and health advisories that will be deployed on popular mobile platforms for greater reach and on-demand use.
