Equitable implementation of lung cancer screening: avoiding its potential to mirror existing inequities among people who use tobacco

CONCLUSION: The present commentary utilizes information about historical trends in tobacco use to highlight opportunities for targeted outreach efforts to engage communities at high risk with information about the lung cancer screening opportunity. Future efforts toward equitable implementation of lung cancer screening should focus on multi-level implementation strategies that engage and work in concert with community partners to co-create approaches that leverage strengths and reduce barriers within specific communities to achieve the potential of lung cancer screening.PMID:37713024 | DOI:10.1007/s10552-023-01790-z
