Subject Selection
The priority population for this study was Black and White men age 40 and older residing in San Bernardino and Riverside Counties in California. A population-based convenience sample was selected from community clubs, churches, worksites, and bus stops. Men fitting the age criteria who volunteered to complete the questionnaire were included in the study, and the questionnaire was self-administered. Altogether, a sample of 214 men was obtained.

Instrumentation
A structured questionnaire was developed and pre-tested among Black and White men (n=25) within the priority population. After review and final changes, this questionnaire was used as the instrument for data collection for the present study. The questionnaire included 25 questions with several items to ascertain the respondents’ attitude towards prostate cancer screening and early detection, beliefs about prostate cancer, access to screening, prostate cancer information, and family history of prostate cancer. In addition, there were demographic questions such as age, education, income, marital status and occupation. Questions dealing with attitudes and beliefs about prostate cancer were measured using a five-point Likert Scale (strongly agree to strongly disagree). Participants were asked to respond to statements designed to measure attitudes and beliefs. This psychosocial scale for the measurement of attitudes and beliefs has been used for decades in various populations.

Procedure
Prior to conducting the survey, letters were sent to several churches and men’s organizations in the area explaining the purpose of the survey and asking them to encourage men within the age group to participate. Some churches and organizations responded positively and invited us to conduct the survey on a day and time designated by them. No follow-up was done on churches that did not respond. Men within the age criteria who volunteered to be in the study completed a questionnaire and returned it to the person collecting the data. Some church leaders and organizations asked that the questionnaires be left with them to be distributed to members. Completed questionnaires were returned in a sealed envelope. For anonymity, participants were asked not to write their names on the questionnaire. Both Black and White men were recruited to be part of the study.

Data Analysis
Data was entered and analyzed using the Statistical Packages for the Social Sciences (SPSS/PC) version 10. The data set was investigated for missing values and outliers, and irregular value recording. Descriptive information was calculated for all variables. Correlations were done on all major variables of interest for the present study.
