This study sought to understand how physician-patient communication influenced prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing. We used data from the Florida Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System. Receipt of PSA testing was examined as a function of content (patient-physician discussions of risks and benefits of PSA testing, provider recommendations of PSA testing) and context of communication (presence of a personal doctor) after accounting for sociodemographic, clinical, healthcare access, and lifestyle characteristics. Men who engaged in conversations with their physician, who were given recommendations for PSA testing by their providers, and who benefitted from the continuity of care denoted by the presence of a personal doctor had a greater likelihood of PSA receipt than those who did not experience these elements of patient-centered care.
