If you are an African American male, the importance of attending this informative event cannot be underestimated. African Americans have a 34% higher rate of incidence of prostate cancer and twice the mortality rate. Be proactive in your wellness with the power of knowledge.

HealthStreet (a community-engaged research initiative of the University of Florida Clinical and Translational Science Institute), the UF MiCaRT Center (a research center focused on eliminating cancer health disparities in Blacks), the Prostate Cancer Transatlantic Consortium and the UF Department of Urology and the UF Health Cancer Center are hosting the 9th national Our Community, Our Health event (OCOH) on prostate cancer. The OCOH town hall series facilitates two-way communication between researchers and community members across the country. We share ideas about priorities for health research and ways to communicate research findings and blends ideas for research from multiple stakeholders.

For this Our Community, Our Health on Prostate Cancer, we will discuss:

• How to reduce your risk for prostate cancer
• How to recognize the signs and symptoms of prostate cancer
• What personalized medicine means
• The engagement of individuals and community for personalized care
• Moving from prostate cancer patient to advocate
