Knowledge (I-SAM component: psychological capability: Z=4.939, p&lt;0.001) and intention to undergo prostate cancer testing (I-SAM component: decided to act): Z=3.975, p&lt;0.001) significantly increased post-intervention. Focus group data showed participants enjoyed the workshop and found it acceptable and informative. They particularly liked that the workshop was delivered exclusively by people who shared participants\u2019 cultural and racial backgrounds. Culturally tailored and faith-based messages made the intervention relevant to participants and facilitated trust-building.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Asset-based strategies, focusing on community strengths, including faith-based health promotion, can promote health behaviours in a culturally and spiritually meaningful way. The PROCAN-B intervention effectively targeted components within the I-SAM and shows potential to increase prostate cancer awareness and build confidence to engage in behaviours conducive to early diagnosis. However, the sample was small, and more robust effectiveness testing is needed.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1136\/bmjopen-2025-105803","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,11,10]],"date-time":"2025-11-10T05:45:26Z","timestamp":1762753526000},"page":"e105803","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1136\/crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["A mixed-methods evaluation of a peer-led, co-produced, asset-based intervention for early diagnosis of prostate cancer for Black men: the PROCAN-B study"],"prefix":"10.1136","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5275-8030","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Floor","family":"Christie-de Jong","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Medicine, University of Sunderland, Sunderland, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0745-178X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Judith","family":"Eberhardt","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychology, Teesside University, Middlesbrough, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Olugbenga S","family":"Oyeniyi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Medicine, University of Sunderland, Sunderland, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Emma","family":"Ratcliffe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Medicine, University of Sunderland, Sunderland, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"John","family":"Kabuye","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Medicine, University of Sunderland, Sunderland, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Martin","family":"Kalemba","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Medicine, University of Sunderland, Sunderland, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lawrence A","family":"Nnyanzi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nursing, Midwifery and Paramedic Practice, Teesside University, Middlesbrough, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marie K","family":"Murphy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dental School, University of Glasgow, Glasgow, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1672-0411","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kathryn A","family":"Robb","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Health and Wellbeing, University of Glasgow, Glasgow, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,11,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025120413263626000_15.11.e105803.1","unstructured":"Prostate cancer statistics.
