Research Objectives To compare the effectiveness of the education modules on the knowledge, attitude, and practice of male university staffs towards prostate cancer prevention behaviors by comparing the pre- and post-test of Iraqi male university staffs' knowledge, attitude, and practice. Study population The research will proceed to be performed in the country of Iraq. Participants in the research will be male university staff members who are employed at Middle Technical University (MTU). This university contains 17 colleges and institutes, divided into five colleges and twelve institutes that are spread across four cities in Iraq. Inclusion criteria

Effectiveness of a Novel Web Application Health Education Intervention in Enhancing Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices to Promote Prostate Cancer Prevention Behaviors among Male University Staff in Iraq
The web application health education module (HEM) will be provided to male university staff in accordance with the participants' informed consent and the relevant institutional requirements. The intervention group will receive a web-based health education programme focused on prostate cancer prevention behaviors. The intervention will be delivered through the web application, while WhatsApp will be used as a communication and follow-up platform. The intervention will be provided to male university staff who voluntarily choose to participate in the study and provide informed consent by signing the consent form. Participants in the intervention group will be closely monitored and supported throughout the intervention period. The researcher will supervise the delivery of the module and provide the necessary guidance and feedback to the facilitators to ensure the effective use of the web application and adherence to the programme.
. The post-assessment survey will be administered to both the intervention and control groups immediately after completion of the 12-week intervention period.
Effectiveness of a Novel Web Application Health Education Intervention in Enhancing Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices to Promote Prostate Cancer Prevention Behaviors among Male University Staff in Iraq
The instrument consists of Knowledge (36 items, 0-36 points), Attitude (46 items, 1-5 Likert scale, 46-230 points), and Practices (34 items, 0-4 frequency scale, 0-136 points). Scores will be analyzed as continuous and categorical variables. Raw scores are converted to percentages (0-100%), where ≥70% is classified as Good Knowledge, Positive Attitude, and Positive Prevention Practices, and \<70% as Poor/Negative. Based on this 70% threshold, the raw score cut-offs are: Knowledge ≥25, Attitude ≥161, and Practices ≥95. Higher scores indicate better outcomes.
Data collection for a Cluster Randomized Controlled Trial (Cluster RCT) Participants in this group will complete a pre-test using a self-administered questionnaire via Google Forms. Subsequently, they will receive a web application health education module related to prostate cancer prevention behaviors, delivered via a WhatsApp group. A post-assessment survey will be administered at 3 months post-intervention.
Participants in this group will complete a pre-test using a self-administered questionnaire via Google Forms. They will NOT receive the web application health education module. A post-assessment survey will be administered at 3 months post-intervention.
Participants in this arm will receive a web-based health education intervention designed to promote prostate cancer prevention behaviors. The module covers evidence-based topics, including six topics, consisting of an introductory home page and five learning modules that address the anatomy and function of the prostate gland, prostate gland diseases, the causes and risk factors of prostate cancer, the methods used for the diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer, and prostate cancer prevention measures. The web application delivers interactive content through educational videos and text summaries. This intervention differs from standard care by providing tailored, interactive digital education aimed at behavioral change rather than standard printed informational materials.
