CLEAR · Community Lung Evaluation & Access to Respiratory Care

Finding lung disease earlier, where people live.

CLEAR tests new, low-burden ways to find lung cancer and other lung disease earlier in community settings, and builds the U.S. evidence for how they work in real-world care.

Objective
Build U.S. real-world evidence that community-based lung health assessment finds lung disease earlier.
18%of adults recommended for lung cancer screening have been screened

What it involves

Awareness campaigns and Implementation Support Programs.

Under CLEAR, awareness campaigns bring patients, families and partners together around what's changing in care, and Implementation Support Programs find what works and scale it rapidly.

Know a gap we should test?Identify a gap

Campaigns can be sponsored: sponsors fund reach and content, never conclusions. Events and publications are promoted, not sponsored. Implementation Support Programs are sponsored separately and follow a defined protocol. Sponsors may help identify implementation challenges, populations or outcomes of interest. Design, governance and evaluation stay independent. How we stay independent
