First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a specially designed educational toolkit, called the Lung Toolkit, can improve knowledge about lung cancer and screening among American Indian and Alaskan Native adults aged 50 to 80 who smoke cigarettes. The toolkit includes a website with resources and a physical pouch with herbs and motivational messages. Researchers will measure how acceptable and effective the toolkit is at increasing screening awareness.
