Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
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

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Peer led intervention
The peer-led program will be pilot tested enrolling 40 self-identified lung cancer screening eligible Black Veterans.
Veterans peer connect Program
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.
