Resumen:

CLEAR-PC (Cancer Literacy Education and Awareness Resources for Prostate Care) addresses the critical issue of low health literacy (HL) in prostate cancer prevention and care, recognising that inadequate HL leads to difficulties in understanding complex medical information, limits shared decision-making (SDM), and increases health inequalities.

Given the high prevalence and complexity of prostate cancer, the project aims to design and develop a comprehensive strategy to improve HL in the context of prostate cancer prevention and care, considering individual capacities, the role of healthcare professionals and organisations, and the influence of social and cultural contexts.

Specific Objectives:

  1. Map HL levels in prostate cancer prevention, diagnosis, treatment and palliative care.
  2. Review and analyse existing HL tools and best practices in the EU and globally.
  3. Assess the role of social determinants in HL.
  4. Design, develop and evaluate a tailored CLEAR-PC strategy.
  5. Pilot the strategy in clinical practice (screening, diagnosis and treatment).
  6. Disseminate results and ensure sustainability.
