Topic 3: Equity in CT Screening-First Nations People

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The speaker addresses lung cancer screening in Aotearoa, New Zealand, emphasizing equity for Māori. Since Māori face higher lung cancer incidence and mortality rates, the speaker advocates for screening tailored to their needs, starting at younger ages than non-Māori. The current national screening programs are deemed inequitable. Research initiatives, co-designed with Māori organizations like Te Hā Kotahi, aim to create inclusive and effective pathways. The speaker stresses addressing stigma and implicit biases in healthcare to ensure culturally safe and non-discriminatory programs. Implementation science is recommended for effective program development and monitoring.
