Abstract
Lung cancer screening has been shown to reduce lung cancer related mortality by 20%. While screening can save lives, little is known about how it is perceived by primary care nurse practitioners. This mixed methods study will examine knowledge, attitudes and practices to reveal screening barriers among nurse practitioners.
