Summary

This study tests whether a short educational video can encourage Hispanic current and former smokers to get screened for lung cancer. Researchers will enroll 2,000 people aged 50-80 who smoke or quit recently. Participants watch the video and answer surveys to identify barriers and see if the video boosts screening interest.
