Key result
Mobile lung cancer screening shows ~73% acceptability despite prevalent cost and coverage concerns.
Why the study?
Identifying potential barriers that may impact community utilization is a pivotal step in implementing mobile screening units to mitigate barriers to cancer screening.
Cross-Sectional (n=218)
No
Mobile lung cancer screening is broadly acceptable to the community, though financial transparency and convenient scheduling are critical factors for enhancing uptake.

Addressing cost barriers may increase screening uptake; extends acceptability data for mobile units while identifying targets for implementation research.
Cottrell-Daniels et al. (2026) conducted a cross-sectional in Lung cancer screening (n=218). Mobile lung cancer screening was evaluated on Barriers and facilitators to mobile lung cancer screening. Mobile lung cancer screening was broadly acceptable among 218 surveyed participants, with 73.4% reporting no concerns about mobile units, although 67.9% expressed concerns regarding cost or coverage.
