Developing a digital video to support lung cancer screening in diverse populations.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Lung cancer screening (LCS) with low dose computed tomography can reduce lung cancer mortality. However, awareness and knowledge of LCS are low. We developed and tested a video to support informed decision-making about LCS for use in diverse populations, including adults with low educational attainment.

Methods

We conducted a prospective pre-post pilot study of adults eligible for LCS at three primary care clinics in the USA from 08/2022-07/2023. We developed a brief digital video, incorporating iterative modifications using participant feedback. We assessed knowledge of LCS before and after viewing the video and solicited open-ended feedback on video format and content.

Results

The study included 29 adults (median [range] age, 62 [50-77] years; 52 % male).
