Project Period
In this proposal, we will identify modifiable societal and health system factors that are associated with these disparities and learn about strategies to address racial disparities in lung cancer care directly from stakeholders in the community and health care settings. This research will provide concrete information about factors that perpetuate, and mitigate, lung cancer disparities, with the ultimate goal of providing equitable care for all lung cancer patients, regardless of race.
