Improving Lung Cancer Screening Adherence by Overcoming Barriers for Vulnerable Populations
An observational study of Lung Carcinoma, run by Thomas Jefferson University at 1 site in United States.
Trial summary
This study investigates multi-level barriers to lung cancer screening uptake and adherence to lung cancer screening. Identifying cost- and convenience-related barriers to lung cancer screening may help researchers develop targeted strategies to facilitate screening adherence specifically among vulnerable populations.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Associations between health insurance availability and financial burdens as factors in lung cancer screening adherence
Individual-level insurance status will be analyzed for association with lung cancer screening adherence. Descriptive analyses of neighborhood factors will be conducted to characterize residential computed tomography (CT)s. Multilevel logistic regression models examining the relationship between screening adherence and each neighborhood factor (i.e., one per model for each CT) and will be adjusted for important individual-level covariates, such as patient age, sex, and smoking status. To address the dependence of the neighborhood factors on race in predicting screening adherence, the modeling results will be focused on interaction terms to examine interactions between race and neighborhood factors.
Measured: Up to study completion; 15 months
Individual-level cost-related factors associated with screening adherence
Will use generalized linear mixed effects logistic regression to model the longitudinal adherence to lung cancer screening as a function of cost-related variables, race, and their interactions. The model will be used to estimate odds ratios representing how adherence associated with financial variables depends on race at each follow-up CT scan.
Measured: Up to study completion; 15 months
Convenience-related factors that impact lung cancer screening adherence
Will assess convenience-related factors that may affect lung cancer screening uptake and adherence. Survey items will address technology and internet accessibility; preferred methods for patient communication; effectiveness of patient navigation; and identification of logistical barriers along each step of the screening workflow including referral, eligibility assessment, scheduling, shared decision-making (SDM) visit, low dose CT (LDCT), results review, and follow-up instructions.
Measured: Up to study completion; 15 months

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 May 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Associations between health insurance availability and financial burdens as factors in lung cancer screening adherence (time frame: Up to study completion; 15 months). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
