About this study

In plain language

This study tests whether the Pink & Pearl Campaign helps more women get lung cancer screening, a test to look for cancer. It focuses on women getting screening mammograms, or breast X-rays, at Christian Hospital. The study also includes surveys and interviews with some women and health care providers.

Inspired by the ongoing Pink \& Pearl Campaign, the breast radiology service of Christian Hospital in north St. Louis County will partner with Siteman Cancer Center to pilot this campaign in its mammography clinics in order to promote awareness, referral, and completion of lung cancer screening (LCS) among eligible women. This campaign leverages established infrastructure such as nurse navigation and referral to screening or primary care for further shared decision-making on cancer screening. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the Pink \& Pearl Campaign in improving LCS uptake among LCS-eligible women undergoing mammography at Christian Hospital. 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, our specific aims for this proposal are to: a) assess whether the Pink \& Pearl Campaign increases referrals and uptake/completion of LCS among LCS-eligible women undergoing screening mammography; b) determine median time-to-screening after referral to LCS; and c) evaluate individual and health system 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.

  • Provider interviews: Must be able to give spoken consent.

Who can't join

  • Survey and interview studies: Cannot have a serious health problem that limits how long you may live. Listed examples include past lung cancer or signs of lung cancer, such as coughing up blood or losing more than 15 pounds without a known reason in the past year.
