Brief summary: This study is being done to understand what social factors affect health decisions for those who have immigrated from another country by examining how the immigration from Sub-Sahara Africa affects the experiences of participants regarding health-seeking behaviors, care, and treatment of prostate cancer. It also examines similarities and differences among participants based on their region of origin in Africa.
