Active Control
This is a 60 minute comprehensive educational program about lung cancer and screening that leverages the cancer and cancer screening experience of Black Americans through testimonials and 'witnessing' to community members in faith- or community-based settings. Each Witness Project® Lung program is conducted by a Witness Role Model and supported by a Community Health Worker from the community-based health system.
A 60-minute general educational program about cancer screening will be conducted by the CHW. The educational program consists of a didactic presentation about all screen-detectable cancers (breast, cervical, colorectal, lung, prostate) and their screening test(s) including eligibility criteria, guidelines, and how to get screened followed by a question-and-answer session.
