Recruitment strategies and interventions to increase participation in lung cancer screening programmes: a systematic review protocol.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Despite strong evidence for the efficacy of low-radiation dose CT (LDCT) in reducing lung cancer (LC) mortality, implementing LC screening (LCS) programmes remains a challenge.

Methods and analysis

This sequential systematic literature review will consist of three steps: (1) a scoping review of existing strategies and organisational models for LCS; (2) selecting papers reporting relevant outcomes (test coverage, screening participation a
