Patient-Reported Barriers and Preferred Interventions to Improve Lung Cancer Screening Uptake.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Lung cancer screening (LCS) utilization remains low. We aimed at assessing LCS patient-reported barriers and preferred interventions to improve uptake.

Methods

Between July and November 2023, an electronic 60-item survey was completed by consented patients aged 50 to 80 years who were due to receive LCS, and their eligibility for LCS was confirmed. The survey assessed patients' LCS perceptions and preferences to increase uptake. Regression analyses was performed to assess associated sociodemographic factors.

Results

In all, 12,558 patients were contacted; 1,396 responded, 871 were interested, and 86 were eligible and enrolled (mean age: 62.4; 40% female; 79.1% White, 4.7% Asian, 2.3% Black). LCS was perceived as beneficial for early lung cancer detection by
