About this study

In plain language

This study tests a care program to improve quality of life for adults with lung cancer who live in rural areas. It compares the program with usual care plus reading materials and a health assessment. The program also aims to help people deal with shame or blame linked to lung cancer and take part in their care.

The overarching goal of the Kentucky LEADS Collaborative Lung Cancer Survivorship Care program is to reduce the burden of lung cancer by offering an innovative survivorship care approach that improves lung cancer quality of life, overcomes lung cancer stigma, and helps survivors engage with care. The project involves a two-group parallel randomized clinical trial comparing the impact of the Kentucky LEADS Collaborative Lung Cancer Survivorship Care program (KLCLCSC) among lung cancer survivors (N=300) against an enhanced usual care condition (bibliotherapy+assessment) on quality of life outcomes.

Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.
