Abstract

Takeaways: * Despite updated lung cancer screening recommendations, progress in improving health outcomes for many underserved communities remains inadequate due to systemic barriers, including limited access to healthcare and lack of awareness of screening benefits. * Latinx individuals are notably impacted, as they’re less likely to receive early diagnoses and treatment for lung cancer. * Nurses can play a vital role in implementing culturally tailored, community-based interventions to promote smoking cessation and increase lung cancer screening awareness, ultimately improving health equity among underserved populations.
