- Brief Summary
This is a West Philadelphia based community project to improve adherence to lung cancer screening. The overall objective of this project is to demonstrate the impact of a community support program (CSP) on improve adherence to LCS follow-up guidelines in an urban environment. The study will target individuals in the Penn Medicine healthcare system residing in Philadelphia with an upcoming or missed follow-up screening or orders placed but who have not yet scheduled their screenings by offering free transportation coordination to and from the appointment. The study team will also offer to connect those with placed but unscheduled low dose CT orders to connect with Penn Medicine's scheduling staff.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Measure the impact of the community support program in improving adherence to lung cancer screening follow-up 6 months The study will measure the impact of a CSP on a population level by using aggregated neighborhood level data. The database has records of patients who had baseline LCS with individual level residential address geocoded to determine neighborhood. West Philadelphia planning district is the intervention group because it's within the catchment area of Penn Medicine, has the highest number of LCS patients, and has consistent high rates of smoking and lung cancer mortality. The control group is patients from Southwest Philadelphia planning district which has a similar Yost score: composite index of socioeconomic status.
The study will compare the rate of appointment attendance between West Philadelphia patients with scheduled/ordered LCS (intervention group), and appointment attendance of Southwest Philadelphia patients with scheduled/ordered LCS. The study will measure if there's a significant difference made by a CSP on a patient's likelihood of LCS attendance.
