Lung Cancer Screening
Brief summary
The main goal of this pilot study is to understand the impact of a mobile lung cancer screening clinics in individuals from neighborhoods and communities with less access to resources in Boston, Massachusetts who are at high risk for lung cancer. A secondary goal of this pilot study is to understand how social determinants of health impact these neighborhoods and communities. Another secondary goal of this pilot study is to see if video recording of participants speaking to their future selves and sending the videos back to participants to encourage them to get lung cancer screening after one year can be administered in a mobile lung cancer screening setting. The questions this study aims to answer are: * Is mobile lung cancer screening is feasible and acceptable? * Is collecting social needs data during the mobile lung cancer screening clinics feasible? * Is creating video recordings of patients encouraging their future selves to get lung cancer screening after one year feasible? Participants will: * Complete an intake survey, providing information about their demographic, medical, and social needs information. * Undergo a shared decision-making conversation to determine whether lung cancer screening should be done. * Undergo lung cancer screening. * Undergo a debriefing conversation and fill out an acceptability survey. * Record a video speaking to their future selves about the importance of annual lung cancer screening, with the video to be sent back to them after roughly one year. * Undergo a semi-structured phone interview between four and eight weeks after lung cancer screening date.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Feasibility of mobile lung cancer screening in target communities in Boston, Massachusetts. | During the intervention. | This outcome will be assessed by calculating the raw count of individuals screened at each mobile clinic and the number of individuals unable to be screened due to time constraints. |
| Acceptability of mobile lung cancer screening in target communities in Boston, Massachusetts. | Between four and eight weeks after the intervention | Acceptability will be assessed using semi-structured phone interviews with participants. Responses to questions, themes, and keywords will be analyzed to report attitudes regarding the intervention. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Feasibility of collecting social determinants of health data during mobile lung cancer screening clinics in underserved communities in Boston, Massachusetts. | Pre-intervention | Feasibility will be measured using the raw count of completed intake surveys. |
| Feasibility of administering a video-based intervention to encourage annual lung cancer screening | From enrollment until the end of the study. | Participants who undergo mobile lung cancer screening will be recorded speaking to their future selves about the importance of annual lung cancer screening. The video footage will be returned to participants 48 weeks after mobile lung cancer screening to encourage the patient to schedule their next screening. |
