The Task Force for Community Preventative Services performed a systematic review on client-directed intervention and suggested that small media could improve cervical, breast, and colorectal cancer screening rates (Baron et al., 2008). The study by Sabatino et al., (2012) evaluated the effect of small media on increasing cancer screening rate at FQHCs. The study has recommended that providing education through small media is effective in many different populations including Hispanics, African-Americans, and women on low SES at FQHC.

A similar type of study was done to assess lung cancer screening practice and attitude among PCPs after the publication of the current recommending LDCT screening. This study was done by Lewis et al., (2015) found that nearly twice number of provider are still ordering chest x-ray, a non-recommended screening test, more often compared to LDCT, less than fifty percentage provider knew three or more of six guideline components for LDCT screening while 25% did not know any guidelines components and nearly 30% providers were unsure of the effectiveness of LDCT and its potential benefit and harm. Further, this study also found that patient cost, harm from false positives, patient’s lack of awareness, the risk of incidental finding, and insurance coverage were all up to nearly 80 % and counted as major barriers in LDCT. The breast, colon, and HPV screening frequently recommending recommend for breast, colon, and HPV screening to reduce cancer prevention mortality as compared recommend for LDCT screening test for lung cancer. Further, the study done by Sin, M., Ha, A., & Taylor, V., (2016), found that among Korean immigrant men, barriers in lung cancer screening including lack of knowledge, costs of healthcare in the U.S, and lack of physician …show more content…
The Study was done by Jandorf et al., (2010) found that among low-income immigrant Hispanics, lower colorectal cancer screening rate positively associated with physician recommendation for and encouragement of screening and less fear. Promotion of screening colonoscopies by both physicians and community programs has the potential to improve adherence rates in the African-American population. (Wong et al., 2013). Further, Benard et al., study (2016) found that educating healthcare providers on human papillomavirus (HPV) and cervical cancer increase their willingness to follow routine guidelines for cervical screening. (Barrier and Facilitator to Adherence to screening colonoscopy). Providing education on potential risks from too-frequent screening and false positive from cervical cancer screening to FQHCs providers balance their barrier to recommending extending screening intervention to their patients (Roland et al., 2013). Since 2013, after USPSTF has recommended LDCT for a lung cancer screening test, it is covered by Medicare and other private health insurance. However, that high-risk underinsured immigrant and Medicare patient still remain to
