Proposed Project
Exploratory Research with People
Living with Lung Cancer—New—
Division of Cancer Prevention and
Control, National Center for Chronic
Disease Prevention and Health
Promotion, Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Lung cancer is the most common
cancer and leading cause of cancer
related mortality in the world. Each
year, over 150,000 Americans are
diagnosed with lung cancer and a
similar number die from the disease.
Due to the relatively low survival rate
for individuals with lung cancer (the
from others, including medical
providers as well as family and friends.
Information will be collected during
in-depth interviews (IDIs) with 27
respondents between the ages of 30 and
80 who have been diagnosed with lung
cancer. Three different types of
respondents will be recruited from
partnering clinical practices in two U.S.
cities: Individuals who are Smokers (9),
individuals who are Former Smokers
(9), and individuals who Never Smoked
(9). Each telephone interview will last
approximately one hour.
The results of this exploratory
research project will inform future
research activities and the development
of health-related information and
services for the benefit of individuals
living with lung cancer. Project goals
support the goals for cancer and
communication described in Healthy
People 2010.
There are no costs to respondents
other than their time.
five-year survival rate of all patients
with lung cancer is only 15%), the
needs of individuals affected by lung
cancer have received less attention in
health care research than the needs of
individuals with other types of cancer,
resulting in a gap in knowledge about a
significant number of people living with
the diagnosis of lung cancer.
CDC proposes to conduct formative
research to improve understanding of
the challenges and needs of individuals
living with lung cancer. Because
smoking is one of the primary risk
factors for lung cancer, the research will
include respondents with different
types of smoking history in order to
explore the influence of smoking status
on individual experience with cancer
diagnosis, stigma and discrimination,
and counseling and support services.
For example, individuals who have
never smoked may face challenges in
obtaining an initial diagnosis of lung
cancer, while current or former smokers
may feel subject to judgments or blame

Background and Brief Description
Currently, there is scientific debate
about the value of lung cancer
screening. For people in whom lung
cancer is found and treated at an early,
localized stage, the five-year survival
rate is roughly 49%. However, only 16%
of people with lung cancer are
diagnosed at this early, localized stage.
Screening for lung cancer using chest xrays (CXR) was widely practiced, but
studies have shown that CXR with or
without sputum cytology does not
reduce mortality from lung cancer.
Studies are currently underway to
provide more information about the
effectiveness of other types of screening
tests, such as computed tomography
(CT) scans and spiral CT scans.
The purpose of this project is to
conduct formative research to gather
information from adult health care
consumers and primary care physicians
about experiences and practices related
to lung cancer screening and testing as

well as their knowledge, attitudes, and
behaviors related to preventive cancer
screenings. Of particular interest are
adults of various races and ethnicities
who are at high risk for lung cancer (i.e.,
long-term heavy smokers).
The proposed project will use focus
groups to gather information about the
target audiences’ experiences and
practices related to lung cancer
screening and testing. If warranted from
focus group data with adult consumers,
follow-up personal interviews will be
conducted with selected focus group
participants, especially those reporting
experience with screening tests, such as
spiral computed tomography (CT).
Physician Masterfile list. Potential
physician respondents will be mailed a
screening packet to complete and
return. Each focus group of physicians
will include approximately six
participants and last 75 minutes. Two
alternates will be recruited for each
physician focus group in order to ensure
participation of the targeted number of
respondents.
Information will be collected over the
two-year project period. There are no
costs to respondents except their time.
The total estimated annualized burden
hours are 198.
A total of 16 focus groups will be
conducted at professional focus group
facilities with long-term heavy smokers
ages 40–70. The data will be collected
from a convenience sample of adults
who will be screened and recruited
using lists maintained by the focus
group facilities. Each focus group will
include approximately nine participants
and last two hours. If warranted,
additional in-depth interviews will be
conducted with up to 16 focus group
participants.
Eight telephone focus groups will be
conducted with a random sample of
primary care physicians recruited from
the American Medical Association

compared with the general population.
However, not enough is known about
the risk behaviors, willingness to be
tested for HIV and HIV prevalence
among persons with chronic mental
illness. In addition, the interrelations
among diagnosis of HIV infection,
compliance with medical care,
subsequent risk behaviors, and the
course of mental illness have not been
well-described. Mental health clinics
are an important setting for HIV rapid
testing and promoting prevention efforts
against the transmission of HIV
infection.
The objectives of this project are to (1)
demonstrate improved access to HIV
testing and linkage to care in
participating mental health care
settings; and (2) describe the
relationship between mental illness,
HIV risk behaviors, and access to testing
and services, in order to inform the
development of optimal prevention
interventions for persons with severe
mental illness. Staff at selected
implementation sites will offer testing
for HIV to clients and administer a brief
survey to assess risk behaviors, previous
access to similar testing services, and
mental health symptoms.
