Opportunity Purpose
Lung health services save lives and improve quality of life, but many people don’t know they are at high risk for getting lung diseases.

Details
Ten community advisors will attend and participate in online meetings. There are four meetings scheduled approximately one month apart. The meetings will be designed to understand community perspectives in adapting a risk-communication platform for lung health. We will communicate with partners by email or by phone between meetings and there might be documents sent to read before some meetings.
