This study is looking at ways to increase lung cancer screening rates, especially since breast cancer screening is more commonly used. Researchers want to see if using advocates and supporters, including people who already get cancer screenings or those who accompany friends/family to appointments, can help encourage more eligible people to get lung cancer screenings. You might be able to join if you are between 40 and 80 years old, regardless of gender, and have a history of smoking or a close family member with a smoking history. The study will measure if these efforts lead to more people getting screened for lung and breast cancer over three years. The goal is to understand and overcome reasons why lung cancer screening isn't used as much, like fear or lack of awareness.
