Mixed-methods study evaluates provider knowledge and practices of germline testing in prostate cancer, highlighting disparities.

Only 19% of surveyed providers order germline testing, signaling a significant gap in practice.
Knowledge scores varied among providers, with an average of 14 out of 27 correct answers on genetic testing queries.
Barriers to genetic testing referrals included insurance issues, limited access to counselors, and time constraints.
Research points to a mismatch between the demographics of healthcare providers and the diverse patient population they serve.
