This pilot study is working to gather data on perceptions about lung cancer screening in low income and racial/ethnic minority communities in Los Angeles among individuals eligible for screening and the health care providers and community organizations that serve these groups. We are working primarily with communities at elevated risk for poor lung cancer outcomes (i.e., Black, Filipino, Korean, Vietnamese, Latinx, low-income Whites). Few prior studies have focused on population subgroups at higher risk for developing lung cancer or for experiencing poor outcomes following diagnosis. By leveraging community input, we will develop and assess best strategies for identifying and reaching individuals eligible for lung cancer screening, particularly for populations that do not access care in settings that routinely provide lung cancer screening or who have barriers to accessing health care in general.
