Video push aims to close lung cancer screening gap for hispanic smokers
NCT ID NCT05784922
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
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.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- educational video
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could point toward a simple, scalable way to increase lung cancer screening in Hispanic communities, potentially catching cancers earlier.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage behavioral study focused on outreach, not a treatment. It may not lead to actual screening uptake or affect cancer outcomes.

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
Who is studied
Investigators chose to restrict eligibility to adults aged 50-80 with no personal history of lung cancer to meet the United States Preventive Services Task Force Guidelines for lung cancer screening. As the primary aim of this study is to address the disparities in lung cancer screening rates and outcomes for Hispanic individuals, only Hispanic-identifying patients will be eligible for participation. Further grants stemming from this project will include community-based outreach efforts to extend the testing and dissemination of this intervention to other underrepresented groups.
