Official title
A Multilevel Intervention to Address Health Disparities in Lung Cancer Screening
About this study
The proposed study will target two key levels of influence in the healthcare setting: provider and patient behavior in order to address disparities between African American and whites in lung screening awareness and utilization. Guided by NIH's Health Disparities Research Framework and building on the formative work conducted in the K99 phase, we will conduct a quasi-experimental study (pretest-posttest, with a nonequivalent control group) in partnership with four primary care clinics within the MedStar Health system in the R00 phase.
