Utilization and Perceptions of Lung Cancer Screening Among Primary Care Physicians
Summary:
This study seeks to understand the utilization and perceptions of lung cancer screening (LCS) among primary care physicians (PCPs), so that barriers to the adoption of LCS guidelines can be identified. Specifically, Dr. Raz seeks to identify perceptions of PCPs on the benefits and harms of LCS with low-dose CT (LDCT), their knowledge of existing guidelines, utilization of LCS with LDCT over the last 12 months, and barriers in their practice to LCS.
