Statewide Optimization of Lung Cancer Screening Utilizing the QUILS™ System in Nevada and Mississippi: State-Based Initiative Component

This clinical trial studies whether a Quality Implementation of Lung Cancer Screening (QUILS™) System state-based initiative (SBI) intervention works to improve the statewide capacity for implementing and sustaining lung cancer screening in Mississippi (MS) and Nevada (NV). The QUILS™ Group is focused on fair and high-quality implementation of lung cancer screening among eligible individuals to reduce lung cancer-related death in underserved communities. Previous research had success with implementing interventions in Kentucky which has lead to significant increases in lung cancer screening rates and a rapid decline in late-stage lung cancer diagnoses within the state. The goal is to offer the opportunity to replicate this work in states which are eager to address suboptimal screening rates, high lung cancer-related death, and significant health equity concerns. The QUILS™ SBI intervention involves translating the success of the initial work in Kentucky to impact lung cancer screening implementation and lung cancer outcomes in MS and NV through close collaboration with state-based partners. The QUILS™ SBI intervention may be an effective way to improve the statewide capacity for implementing and sustaining lung cancer screening in MS and NV.
