  • BRFSS, Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System; PSA, Prostate-Specific Antigen; CI, Confidence interval; NH, Non-Hispanic; AIAN, American Indian Alaska Native; PI, Pacific Islander.

  • * We excluded the NH other race group in our analysis to match the US Census race and ethnicity categorization, which we used in our simulation models.

  • Sample size is the number of men who answered the question whether they had had a PSA test in the past year (Yes/No or never).

  • An unweighted percentage is the percentage of men reporting having had a PSA screening test within 1 year of the interview in a specific age or race and ethnicity group category. Weighted percentage is an estimate of the prevalence of having had a PSA screening test in the past year in a specific age or race and ethnicity group in the study population.
