Summary

The investigators proposal is ripe for executing as the investigators seek to leverage this "natural experiment" initiated by the BJC health system to evaluate the effectiveness of the Pink \& Pearl Campaign as an implementation strategy to promote lung cancer screening (LCS) uptake among LCS-eligible women undergoing mammography at BJC West County. This evaluation is grounded in the Integrated Screening Action Model that depicts individual- and environmental-level influences on the screening behavior process. Using an explanatory sequential mixed methods design, which combines both quantitative and qualitative approaches, the research questions and specific aims for this proposal are to: a) evaluate the baseline prevalence of LCS among LCS-eligible women; b) assess whether the Pink \& Pearl Campaign increases referrals and uptake/ completion of LCS among LCS-eligible women undergoing screening mammography; and c) evaluate individual and environmental factors influencing LCS uptake, and implementation outcomes of the campaign. These implementation outcomes will help identify whether the campaign was put in place successfully or not. This proposal will inform strategies for integrating cancer screening programs to improve poorly performing programs like LCS.

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is testing a program called the 'Pink and Pearl Project,' which offers lung cancer screening to women who come in for routine mammograms and who have a significant history of smoking. Lung cancer is often caught late, and this program aims to identify it early by adding lung screening (a low-dose CT scan) to the breast screening visit. Researchers want to find out how many eligible women accept the offer and whether the program leads to earlier lung cancer detection. **You may be eligible if...** - You are between 50 and 80 years old - You are attending a screening mammogram appointment - You have smoked at least 20 pack-years (e.g., 1 pack per day for 20 years), either currently or you quit within the past 15 years - You can speak and understand English **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You have been diagnosed with lung cancer, or have current symptoms that suggest lung cancer (such as coughing up blood or unexplained significant weight loss) - You are unwilling to pursue treatment if lung cancer is found - You have a serious health condition that significantly limits your life expectancy Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
