Co-Design and Pilot Testing of Peer-led Community Outreach to Improve Equity, Veteran-Centeredness and Uptake of Lung Cancer Screening

Intervention name:
Veterans peer connect Program
Description:
To assess outcomes of the Peer-led program, the study team will collect information from
Veteran pilot test participants via surveys and data abstraction on healthcare
utilization (Lung cancer screening completion, tobacco treatment) from the Veterans
Affairs Corporate Data Warehouse. Survey data will be collected at 3 timepoints:
baseline, post-Peer-led orientation, and 3-months post-enrollment. Healthcare utilization
data will be abstracted from the corporate data warehouse to reflect the 3-month
post-enrollment timepoint. Finally, interviews will be conducted with a subset of
participants.
Arm group label:
Peer led intervention
Summary:
Co-design will be implemented to develop an innovative, Veteran-centered intervention
(Vet Peer Connects program) that meets the needs of Black Veterans.
Next, a feasibility pilot test of the Vet Peer Connects program will be conducted. The
Peer will lead up to 4 group lung cancer screening orientations in community partner
sites to reach around 40 lung cancer screening eligible Black Veterans. The Peer will
provide one-to-one tailored support to up to 15 Veterans (coaching, goal-setting,
navigation to access Veterans Affairs lung cancer screening). Then, the study team will
evaluate program delivery through ethnographic observation and field notes, Peer activity
logs, and weekly check-ins between the study team and Peer. Investigators will interview
Veteran participants, community partners, and lung cancer screening clinical staff to
explore feasibility and acceptability of the Vet Peer Connects program and solicit
suggestions for improvement. Preliminary data on the outcomes of the Vet Peer Connects
program will be collected by study team through administering surveys to assess change in
Social Cognitive Theory constructs, and extracting lung cancer screening uptake and
tobacco treatment 3 months post enrollment from VA's Corporate Data Warehouse. This work
will inform a subsequent multi-site stepped-wedge trial to assess effectiveness,
implementation, and cost of the Vet Peer Connects program in VA lung cancer screening
sites and neighboring branches of the National Association for Black Veterans
