Berry says there is a need to understand how these men are getting their information and to determine the best time to deliver intervention. At Dana-Farber, the intervention intends to prepare a man for the “options talk” with their physician.
Berry and her team are looking into delivering information to men immediately after their diagnosis. Berry says Dana-Farber has been funded by the National Institutes of Health and the National Institute of Nursing Research to deploy the intervention in large health networks.
