Study Summary

This trial aims to increase lung cancer screening rates, understanding of effective screening strategies, and reduce lung cancer burden through a tailored health communication & decision support tool combined with social determinants of health (SDoH) screening.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for individuals aged 50-80 who can consent, currently smoke or quit within the last 15 years, have a history of significant smoking (20 pack-years), and have never had lung cancer screening. They must speak and understand English. Those with previous lung screenings or diagnosed with lung cancer are excluded.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study tests if adding a Social Determinants of Health (SDoH) assessment and referral process to a community-based educational tool improves lung cancer screening rates compared to just the educational tool alone in at-risk communities.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial focuses on education and social assessments rather than medical treatments, there are no direct side effects like those seen with drugs or surgeries. However, participants may experience stress or anxiety related to learning about their health risks.
