Witness Project Lung

CLEAR-LUNG (Community-Level Effectiveness to Advance Reach in Lung Cancer Screening)

The long-term objective is to improve lung cancer screening uptake among screening-eligible Black adults and thereby reduce the population burden of late-stage diagnosis and mortality. The short-term objective of this study is to rigorously test the effectiveness, mechanisms, and implementation readiness of Witness Project® Lung.

This study will conduct a type 1 hybrid effectiveness-implementation trial to evaluate the effectiveness of a community-based culturally crafted educational intervention (Witness Project® Lung) compared to a community-based general cancer screening educational program (as the control) for increasing adoption of lung screening within the Black American community while gathering information on its delivery and potential for implementation in a real-world setting. The target population is Black American lung screening eligible individuals. This study will use both quantitative and qualitative methods for data collection and analysis to address the study aims.
