This study is looking at how to make lung cancer screening more accessible for people in rural Illinois who are at high risk. It's an observational study, meaning researchers will watch and learn from current practices rather than testing a new treatment. The study aims to see if using a special nurse navigator and telehealth (medical care over the phone or internet) can increase the number of people getting screened for lung cancer. You might be able to join if you are between 50 and 80 years old, have smoked for at least 20 pack-years (a way to measure how much you've smoked), and currently smoke or quit within the last 15 years. The main goals are to see if the screening rate goes up and if more lung cancers are found at an early stage.

Study design

This is an observational study planning to include 10,000 participants. It is not testing a specific intervention or drug.

What's involved

Compensation

Not stated in the trial record.

Follow-up

The study will measure screening rates and early stage diagnoses through study completion, an average of 1 year.
