Abstract

Our community-engaged, multicomponent, and multilevel pilot implementation study significantly improved lung cancer screening rates in a rural, tribal health system. A key feature of this pilot study was a centralized screening coordination service supported by a population screening registry. We believe that our study is replicable in other settings.
