Utilizing the NIMHD framework to explore barriers and facilitators to lung cancer screening among Black adults in NYC.
Article in Cancer causes & control : CCC, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundLung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death in the United States, with Black individuals experiencing the highest incidence and mortality rates. Despite the benefits of early detection through low-dose computed tomography (LDCT), lung cancer screening rates remain disproportionately low among Black adults. This study explores barriers and facilitators to inform culturally tailored interventions that promote equitable screening uptake.
methodsGuided by the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities (NIMHD) research framework, we conducted semi-structured interviews with screening-eligible Black adults in New York City (NYC). Participants were recruited through community canvassing and stakeholder partnerships. Transcripts were analyzed using thematic content analysis to identify key themes across individual, interpersonal, community, and societal levels.
resultsAnalysis of 11 interviews identified four key thematic constructs representative of participants' perceptions of barriers and facilitators to lung cancer screening in the Black community. Preparation is concerned with community members' lack of knowledge about lung cancer and screening, and strategies for community outreach and education. Partnership emphasizes the ways in which discrimination, mistrust, and stigma impact how the Black community engages in healthcare and other collaborative relationships to promote uptake of lung cancer screening. Prioritization highlights individual and community perceptions of healthcare and screening prioritization and demonstrates a need for greater prioritization of lung cancer screening in the healthcare setting. Finally, placement stresses the importance of embedding screening services within communities for improved access.
conclusionAddressing lung cancer screening disparities requires multi-level strategies that enhance provider communication, expand access, and engage community partners. Culturally responsive approaches, such as social network engagement, mobile screening units, de-stigmatizing communication, and targeted education are essential to increasing awareness and early detection in Black communities.
