Mr Ainsworth

'Is the Transform prostate cancer study only on black men?'

'"No, the TRANSFORM prostate cancer screening trial is not only for Black men. It is a massive, landmark UK study designed to find the best way to screen all men at risk of prostate cancer, ***though it features a specific, expanded focus on Black men due to their significantly higher risk***.

Why do black men run a higher risk ?

Why do you think black men seem more reluctant than others to have this test ?

(You can use AI to produce your answers if you like).

Similarly why is it that black women are, I believe, said to have worse experiences and outcomes in childbirth than white women ?

I have always found such facts strange as in my experience the majority of NHS hospital staff are non-white so why might they be prejudiced against or provide an inferior service to those who share their skin colour ?

As someone with a colour blind attitude to such matters and grateful for any NHS provision delivered by whomsoever, I am bemused.
