Description
Erin A. Hirsch and colleagues describe, in a 2026 cross-sectional survey, behavioral factors tied to yearly lung cancer screening participation. Low-dose CT screening works best when eligible people return annually, yet adherence determinants are multifaceted and poorly mapped. The team applied a cognitive-social model of how people process health information.
The survey reached 143 screening-eligible adults who had recently completed a scan with annual follow-up recommended. Respondents reported high confidence in handling the screening process, saw strong benefits, and named few barriers to returning. Fatalism about cancer was low. Knowledge specific to screening, however, was suboptimal. The authors suggest communication efforts should target knowledge gaps while building on existing confidence, and they offer the findings as groundwork for future hypothesis-driven adherence research.
