Video Summary
In this video, three assistant professors discuss gaps in lung cancer screening and the barriers to accessing screening, especially among underserved communities. They highlight the low uptake of lung cancer screening and the disparities in screening rates among different racial and ethnic groups. The speakers emphasize the need for alternative individual-based screening approaches and intervention strategies to improve screening uptake and shared decision-making.<br /><br />They also discuss the importance of addressing patient barriers, such as fear of a lung cancer diagnosis and distrust of healthcare, as well as opportunity barriers like lack of money and transportation. The speakers suggest interventions such as improving awareness about lung cancer screening, making screening more available in communities, and engaging primary care physicians and communities in the screening process.<br /><br />Furthermore, the speakers highlight disparities in post-lung cancer screening care, including barriers to treatment and management for suspicious findings, tobacco cessation strategies, and annual follow-up and screening adherence. They discuss the impact of social determinants of health on treatment disparities and the importance of communication and coordination between providers and patients to ensure proper follow-up and care.<br /><br />Overall, the speakers emphasize the need for a comprehensive approach to lung cancer screening that takes into account the barriers and disparities faced by underserved communities, and they encourage researchers and providers to address these issues and develop targeted interventions to improve screening rates and outcomes.
