ExACT: Examining Inequities in Accessing Lung Cancer Treatment

The purpose of the ExACT study is to better understand the barriers to accessing timely cancer treatment for people who are socioeconomically disadvantaged with lung cancer, so that we can design cancer treatment policies and services to minimize barriers.

The specific objectives of the ExACT study are to

1. Examine barriers to lung cancer treatment among people experiencing socioeconomic disadvantage in Manitoba.
2. Identify strategies developed and implemented elsewhere that improve access to cancer treatment for people experiencing socioeconomic disadvantage.
3. Engage with communities, health care providers, and health systems leaders to co-develop organizational and systems-level strategies to improve access to cancer treatment in Manitoba and identify next steps for research.
