Responses are to the question, “What would be most helpful to you in implementing a lung cancer screening program in your practice (if you don't currently have one)?” Of 335 participants who did not currently have a lung cancer screening program, 113 offered at least 1 comment. The counts do not sum to 113 because respondents could indicate more than on priority area.
