A Community Health Worker Intervention to Improve Lung Cancer Screening Uptake in Community Health Centers

Lung cancer screening (LCS) can reduce lung cancer-related mortality by 20%, but only 5-10% of eligible individuals have received an initial LCS. The goal of this study is to partner with community stakeholders to jointly develop and pilot test a multi-component community health worker-delivered intervention targeting key barriers to improve LCS and tobacco treatment utilization. The proposed activities will lay the groundwork for a subsequent R01 grant, conducting a fully powered randomized clinical trial to establish CHWs as an evidence-based practice that will facilitate access to screening and tobacco treatment, to reduce lung cancer mortality.
