About this study
In plain language
This study tests whether the Pink & Pearl Campaign helps more women get lung cancer screening at BJC West County. It is for women who qualify for lung cancer screening and are getting a mammogram, an X-ray to check for breast cancer.
The investigators proposal is ripe for executing as the investigators seek to leverage this "natural experiment" initiated by the BJC health system to evaluate the effectiveness of the Pink \& Pearl Campaign as an implementation strategy to promote lung cancer screening (LCS) uptake among LCS-eligible women undergoing mammography at BJC West County. This evaluation is grounded in the Integrated Screening Action Model that depicts individual- and environmental-level influences on the screening behavior process. Using an explanatory sequential mixed methods design, which combines both quantitative and qualitative approaches, the research questions and specific aims for this proposal are to: a) evaluate the baseline prevalence of LCS among LCS-eligible women; b) assess whether the Pink \& Pearl Campaign increases referrals and uptake/ completion of LCS among LCS-eligible women undergoing screening mammography; and c) evaluate individual and environmental factors influencing LCS uptake, and implementation outcomes of the campaign. These implementation outcomes will help identify whether the campaign was put in place successfully or not. This proposal will inform strategies for integrating cancer screening programs to improve poorly performing programs like LCS.
Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.
Eligibility
Who can join
- You are getting a screening mammogram.
- You are 50 to 80 years old.
- You currently smoke or quit within the past 15 years, and smoked the equivalent of 1 pack a day for 20 years.
- You can speak and understand English.
- You can understand the study and are willing to agree to take part.
- For health care providers taking part: You are older than 20.
Who can't join
- You have a serious health problem likely to shorten your life. Listed examples include past lung cancer or signs of lung cancer, such as coughing up blood or losing more than 15 pounds without a clear reason in the past year.
- You cannot or do not want to get treatment if lung cancer is found.
Simplified for readability. The official criteria below are what the study team uses.
Official eligibility criteria
Inclusion Criteria for Participants: * Undergoing screening mammography * Between the ages of 50-80 years (inclusive) * Reporting a 20 pack-year equivalent of either current smoking history or have quit in the past 15 years * Can speak and understand English * Ability to understand willingness to provide informed consent. Exclusion Criteria for Participants: * Diagnosed with a serious health problem that will likely limit life expectancy (such as previous history of lung cancer, symptoms of lung cancer such as hemoptysis or unexplained weight loss of more than 6.8 kg (15 lb) in the previous year) * Subjects with symptoms of lung cancer should get a diagnostic CT scan * Unable or unwilling to get treatment if lung cancer is found Eligibility Criteria for Providers: * Older than 20 years of age
