Summary

This trial aims to improve lung cancer screening among Hispanic/Latinx individuals, who currently have limited access to healthcare services. The study will test a multi-level intervention that includes notifying primary care providers about patients

Who is the study for?
This trial is for Hispanic individuals aged 50-80 who are current or former smokers (quit within the last 15 years) with a history of heavy smoking. They must have an upcoming primary care appointment and be able to speak English or Spanish. It's focused on those in Orange County attending UCI Health clinics.
What is being tested?
The study tests if reminders to patients and providers, patient education, and financial navigation aid can increase lung cancer screenings using low dose CT scans compared to enhanced usual care. The goal is early detection of lung cancer in the Hispanic community.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves educational interventions rather than medical treatments, there are no direct side effects from medications. However, participants may experience anxiety or stress related to screening outcomes.
