Abstract
Of disadvantaged men with clinically localized prostate cancer those with the lowest self-efficacy in physician interactions fared worst across all measured domains of health related quality of life. Interventions to improve patient-physician communication in this population may provide physicians with a supplemental method by which to address health perceptions, mitigate symptom experience and improve health outcomes.
