First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether community health workers can help more eligible people get screened for lung cancer and quit smoking. The workers will reach out to patients, help them make informed decisions, offer smoking cessation counseling, and navigate barriers to care. The study will enroll 80 adults aged 50-80 who are potentially eligible for lung cancer screening at three community health centers.
