About this study

The long-term goal of this program of research is to increase the reach of Lung Cancer Screening (LCS) among low-resource healthcare settings and populations. The proposed project, LUNG-IS, is a mixed-methods, pre-post quasi-experimental design conducted in three Utah safety-net healthcare system clinics. LUNG-IS employs a comprehensive conceptual model with theories, models, and frameworks of implementation and behavioral science, uses rigorous mixed-methods to evaluate factors that influence implementation of LCS, and uses patient navigation to facilitate clinic-community linkages. LUNG-IS leverages existing pathways to care and Centralized Hub infrastructure that enables eligibility assessment, LCS Shared Decision Making (SDM) with clinical decision support, screening referral, and screening logistics assistance to help overcome barriers to LCS completion. The Centralized Hub model uses ubiquitous technologies (i.e., text messaging/telehealth) to enable patients to be assessed for LCS eligibility, engage in SDM if eligible, and be referred for LCS. For patients who decide to complete LCS, they will be provided patient navigation via Community Health Workers designed to address logistical barriers, hesitancy, and financial constraints around completing LCS.

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