About this study

In plain language

This study looks at whether a nurse guide can help people in rural Illinois get lung cancer screening. It is for adults ages 50–80 with a smoking history. Visits may be in person or by video or phone, and CT scans (detailed X-ray pictures) will be done at an approved center near home.

The role of this observational study is to access the feasibility of providing lung cancer screening using a designated nurse navigator through lung cancer screening clinic. Eligible participants will be identified using medical records, eligibility will be confirmed through phone call, screening visits will be scheduled as in-person visit or telehealth visit. Computed tomography screening will be performed at an approved center closer to the individuals place of living and results will be discussed during follow-up in-person visit or telehealth visit.

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