  • Simplified (AI rewritten)
  • Technical (Original)

Community Support Program for Lung Cancer Screening aims to help people follow through with their lung cancer check-ups. The program focuses on residents of West Philadelphia who need to attend their LDCT (low dose CT) follow-up. **LDCT** is a special type of X-ray that uses low doses of radiation to look for signs of lung cancer. The study will use information about neighborhoods to help make the program effective. If you qualify, a Community Support Program Representative and Patient Navigator will help you with your appointment and travel needs. They will track if you go to your appointments and use Lyft rides to get you there and back. Only those who live in West Philadelphia, are between 18-89 years old, and have an upcoming or missed LDCT are eligible.

  • **Duration:** Once-off follow-up appointment
  • **Visits:** Only on the day of your scheduled LDCT
  • **Transportation:** Free Lyft rides to and from the hospital

Participating in this study will help ensure you get proper lung cancer screening care. 🏥🚗
