Overview
This clinical trial develops and studies whether a restorative justice-based lung cancer screening (LCS) decision-making support intervention tailored for Black individuals increases LCS among Black community members. Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer deaths among Black men and women. LCS with yearly low-dose chest computed tomography (CT) is recommended for people with current or recent tobacco use (within 15 years) who are aged 50-80 with at least a 20 pack-year smoking history. LCS lowers lung cancer death by 20%; however, data shows that LCS completion remains low among minority groups in the United States. The restorative justice-based LCS decision-making support intervention in this trial has been specifically tailored to meet the needs of Black individuals. It is designed to reduce racial unfairness by promoting trust, shared understanding, and empowerment in clinical decision making while addressing the social and historical circumstances of health inequalities. This may be an effective way to increase LCS among Black community members.
