Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are Black adults aged 50–77 with a 20-pack-year smoking history and recent tobacco use who have not had a chest CT in the past year and speak English.
✕Probably not a fit
Individuals without the specified smoking history, outside the age range, past chest CT within a year, or not identifying as Black may not benefit from this intervention.

What this trial studies
This interventional study focuses on Black adults aged 50–77 with a 20-pack-year smoking history and recent tobacco use. Participants receive a 2–3 hour in-person decision-making support session tailored to restorative justice concepts, followed by potential follow-up at 90 days. The intervention combines education, survey administration, interviews, and review of electronic health records to understand its effect on screening decisions. Outcomes will inform whether culturally tailored decision support can improve LCS completion rates and address disparities.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, participants and communities may experience higher lung cancer screening uptake and earlier detection opportunities.
How similar studies have gone: Previous studies with culturally tailored decision aids have shown potential to improve screening uptake, though this specific restorative justice–based approach is novel in this setting.
