Summary

The purpose of this study is to research patient preferences for lung cancer screening and pilot mobile units to address the barrier of access that decreases participation in lung cancer screening.

Detailed description

The overarching goal of this study is to research patient preferences for lung cancer screening and pilot mobile units to address the barrier of access that decreases participation in lung cancer screening. To facilitate this, the investigators will evaluate the feasibility of mobile lung cancer screening clinics to improve access through focus group study in designated rural areas of New Hampshire and Vermont, canvas and survey these areas to confirm need, and pilot the mobile lung cancer screening clinic to establish practicability. Findings from the proposed project will be used as preliminary data to apply for further funding and to implement the mobile unit in these identified rural communities on a consistent basis.
