Informing the cultural adaptation of a lung cancer screening shared decision-making and navigation intervention for Hispanic adults: a qualitative study.
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 among Hispanic men and the second leading cause among Hispanic women in the United States. Despite evidence that lung cancer screening (LCS) reduces lung cancer mortality through early detection, Hispanic adults remain underrepresented in LCS. This study explored perceptions of LCS and shared decision-making (SDM) among Hispanic men and women to guide the cultural adaptation of the TELEhealth Shared decision-making COaching and navigation in Primary carE (TELESCOPE) intervention.
methodsHispanic adults aged 50-77 years with a current or former smoking history of at least 20 pack-years participated in virtual focus groups. Discussions were guided by the Cultural Appropriateness Framework and explored perceptions of LCS and communication preferences. Transcripts were analyzed using rapid qualitative analysis. Two members of the research team independently reviewed transcripts, summarized findings in structured matrices, and identified themes through consensus.
resultsNineteen Hispanic adults participated in three focus groups (one in English and two in Spanish). Participants had a mean age of 60.3 years, a mean smoking history of 30.6 pack-years, 68.4% primarily spoke Spanish, and 57.8% were from South America. Four themes emerged: (1) limited awareness and understanding of LCS; (2) clear and friendly communication preferences; (3) concerns regarding fear and fatalism; and (4) importance of culturally relevant design.
conclusionsSeveral important themes that may influence engagement in LCS were identified. These results will inform the cultural adaptation of TELESCOPE and may guide future efforts to improve the acceptability and uptake of LCS among Hispanic adults.
