Witness Project Lung
The Witness Lung Lung program is led by the Witness Role Model (WRM) using visual (i.e., geographically specific slide presentation with New Jersey (NJ) or New York (NY) lung screening resources), audio and video (i.e., short testimonials), and text (i.e., geographically-tailored take-home hand-out) components. At the end of the program, participants will be asked if they would like the Community Health Worker (CHW) to follow-up with them via their preferred method of contact to navigate them to screening. The CHW will also be available to meet with participants after the program to answer additional questions. Witness Project® Lung is a 60-minute program.
General Educational Program
The educational program consists of a didactic presentation about all screen-detectable cancers (breast, cervical, colorectal, lung, prostate) and their screening test(s) including eligibility criteria, guidelines, and how to get screened followed by a question-and-answer session. At the end, participants will be asked if they would like the CHW to follow-up with them to navigate them to screening options. The CHW will also be available to meet with participants after the program
