Community Understanding and Attitudes Toward Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) Testing for Prostate Cancer Screening: A Cross-Sectional Survey Study From Saudi Arabia

There is a substantial lack of knowledge and awareness about PC and PSA screening among Saudi participants. Barriers include low perceived risk and fear of diagnosis, compounded by reliance on informal sources such as social media. Addressing these gaps through targeted education and proactive outreach initiatives is crucial for enhancing awareness and encouraging early screening behaviors.

Barriers include low perceived risk and fear of diagnosis, compounded by reliance on informal sources such as social media. Addressing these gaps through targeted education and proactive outreach initiatives is crucial for enhancing awareness and encouraging early screening behaviors.
