Interventions Designed to Increase the Uptake of Lung Cancer Screening: An Equity-Oriented Scoping Review.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Participation in lung cancer screening (LCS) is lower in populations with the highest burden of lung cancer risk (through the social patterning of smoking behavior) and lowest levels of health care utilization (through structurally inaccessible care) leading to a widening of health inequities.

Methods
