Adapted conceptual model lung cancer screening intervention model to reduce health disparities. Adapted from Ford et al [16] and incorporating elements from National Institute of Minority Health and Health Disparities [11], this model structures barriers and promoters to increase awareness, opportunities, and participation in clinical trials to reduce disparities in clinical care and LCS by locus of control. Within this framework, we provide examples of intervention components. LCS = lung cancer screening; USPSTF = US Preventative Services Task Force.
