Description
Tung-Sung Tseng, Chien-Ching Li, Hui-Yi Lin, and Yu-wen Chiu study who gets lung cancer screening in the United States in a 2023 paper. Low-dose CT screening is advised for high-risk smokers and cuts deaths, yet few who qualify take it up. The team used a national health survey from 2017 to 2021 plus state data on Medicaid expansion and screening sites. The final sample held 15,640 eligible adults across twenty-nine states.
Only about eighteen percent had been screened, and state rates ran from about six to about thirty-one percent. Use ran lower among the employed, the never-married, and those in good health. It also ran lower for people with no personal doctor, cost troubles, no routine checkups, and no history of set chronic diseases. The authors weigh person-level and state-level fixes.
