Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are members of state-based screening implementation teams in Mississippi or Nevada who hold leadership roles and participate in study activities.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients not involved in or affected by the implementation activities in Mississippi or Nevada may not experience direct screening benefits.

What this trial studies
This interventional effort uses a statewide implementation approach to scale and sustain lung cancer screening through the QUILS SBI intervention in Mississippi and Nevada. The study targets state-based teams and leadership groups involved in lung cancer screening to translate prior Kentucky success into broader practice. It focuses on improving capacity, equity, and uptake of screening among eligible populations, with assessments of implementation activity and outcomes. Sites include Delta Health System, Greenwood Leflore Hospital, and Memorial Hospital Gulfport in Mississippi. No clinical patient-level randomization or efficacy comparisons are described in the available details.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the initiative could increase access to and quality of lung cancer screening in underserved communities and reduce late-stage diagnoses.
How similar studies have gone: Previous implementation work in Kentucky showed increases in screening and declines in late-stage lung cancer diagnoses, informing this expansion.
