Key Points Question What change will be associated with the revised US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) lung cancer screening guideline for screening eligibility among female, Black, and Hispanic populations? Findings In this cross-sectional study of the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System for 2017 and 2018, the proportion eligible for screening among current and former smokers increased by 30.3% for men, 40.5% for women, and 31.9% for White, 76.7% for Black, and 78.1% for Hispanic populations. Compared with men, women had lower odds of eligibility, and compared with White, Black and Hispanic individuals had lower odds of eligibility. Meaning These findings suggest that screening disparities may persist among women and racial/ethnic minority populations with the revised guideline.
