Sestaman: an Indigenous evaluation of the National Lung Cancer Screening Program

Lung cancer is the leading cause of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cancer deaths, with mortality rates rising compared to falling rates for non-Indigenous Australians. A new Lung Cancer Screening Program starts in 2025 and offers a chance for a program evaluation by a world leading Indigenous research team. This study will evaluate the program's effectiveness, understand participant experiences, and identify barriers and enablers for services, helping ensure it meets community needs.
