PATCHES RESEARCH

The PATCHES lab at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center focuses on lung cancer screening (LCS) and tobacco cessation in underserved and at-risk populations including the LGBTQ+ community, American Indian and Alaskan Natives (AI/AN) population, and rural communities. We utilize community-based participation to better understand barriers, facilitators and potential disparities in screening practices. 

PATCHES stands for Personalized, Adapted, & Targeted Interventions for Communities to Advance Health Equity in Lung Cancer Screening
