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 galvanize the community 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 are sponsored: sponsors fund reach and content, never conclusions. 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

Get involved

Everyone has a part to play.

Health systems and employers
Become an implementation hub.

Bring CLEAR to your patients or workforce. We start with a 30-minute discovery call to define one gap, your population and a baseline.

  • Implementation activities funded under written agreements, never tied to product selection or volume
  • Live in as little as four weeks
  • A defined protocol and measures set up front
  • Results you can share with your patients and board
Patients and advocacy organizations

AHIS selects who is featured. Sponsors don't. Participation by sponsors, members or partners does not imply AHIS endorsement or preferential treatment.

Let's close this gap together.
