SITE REQUIREMENTS
There are many levels of participation that a site can choose, from
returning a report that requires just a few minutes of your time to
more involved levels where you complete additional information used
for state of the art research, national studies and national reports.
The level of participation is always the site’s choice and can vary
from year to year. All of the site categories are an integral part of
PCAW as our most important goal is to provide free or low-cost screenings
to as many men as possible.
Participation Levels
Screening Site is not required to send back any information
to the PCEC. The simple Final Report Form indicating the number of hours
and some demographic information about the men screened as well as the
number of abnormal DRE’s and PSA’s is returned to the PCEC at the end
of your screening.
Reporting Site returns the screening questionnaire forms to
the PCEC and the Final Report Form.
*Tracking Site returns the screening questionnaire forms, sends
a list of their PSA results to the PCEC and completes the final report
form.
*Longitudinal Study Site fully utilizes the PCEC by returning
the screening questionnaire forms to the PCEC, sending blood samples
to the central lab for PSA and cPSA processing and returning the final
report form. These sites often participate in research projects.
*Sites that return their PCAW screening questionnaire forms
AND PSA results to the Prostate Cancer Education Council are eligible
to receive their screening supplies for FREE
