Impact of Race, Age, Income, and Residence on Prostate Cancer Knowledge, Screening Behavior, and Health Maintenance in Siblings of Patients with Prostate Cancer

Increased attention should be paid to siblings of CaP patients in efforts to improve their knowledge and thereby participation in screening as these patients are at an increased risk of development of this disease. Efforts should be made to educate siblings who are older, of lower income, African American, and rural residents with regard to CaP, as these subgroups appear less likely to change their knowledge and screening behavior despite their sibling's diagnosis.
