Researchers are evaluating whether the Quality Implementation of Lung Cancer Screening QUILS2 System state-based initiative SBI can improve the capacity for lung cancer screening implementation and sustainability in Mississippi and Nevada. This initiative aims to reduce lung cancer-related deaths in underserved communities by replicating successful intervention strategies previously used in Kentucky, which increased screening rates and reduced late-stage lung cancer diagnoses. Participants will carry out the QUILS2 SBI intervention over a period of four years. The intervention includes hiring and establishing connections with relevant groups, working with the Mississippi Lung Cancer Roundtable MSLCRT and Nevada Lung Cancer Coalition NLCC, attending annual and feedback meetings, prioritizing objectives, receiving coaching and technical assistance, and engaging in sustainability planning. Throughout the study, participants will be involved in various implementation activities and assessments related to lung cancer screening. Researchers will measure changes in statewide capacity for lung cancer screening implementation and sustainability over up to three years. The study spans from March 2026 to July 2029, with ongoing support and evaluation throughout the intervention period.
