ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying how a specially designed educational video can help people in vulnerable communities understand lung cancer and the importance of screening. Lung cancer is a serious health issue, especially in African-American and Asian communities, where the rates of this disease and its deaths are higher than in other groups. The goal of the trial is to see if this video can help more people learn about lung cancer and encourage them to get screened, which means checking for cancer before any symptoms appear.

To participate in this trial, you need to be an adult from the African-American, Korean, or Chinese communities and have a history of smoking, lung cancer, or have already been screened for lung cancer. If you're between the ages of 50 and 80 and have smoked regularly, you might also be eligible. Participants will watch the educational video and provide feedback. This study is currently looking for volunteers, and it’s a great opportunity to help improve awareness and screening for lung cancer in your community.
