Improving racial disparities in lung cancer screening uptake: a mixed-methods study of a centralized program.

There is racially inequitable implementation of lung cancer screening in the United States, with lower screening for Black/African-American people particularly. This mixed-methods study identifies factors shaping screening participation of Black veterans and highlights the need for implementation strategies that address both individual barriers and structural inequities to improve equitable access to this distinct patient population that may be applied to screening improvement efforts in other communities.
