Trista Beard: Presenting Lung Cancer Risk Recruitment and Clinical Trial Education Research at AACR 2026

Trista Beard, Research Program Manager at USC Department of Population and Public Health Sciences, shared a post on LinkedIn:

“I had the privilege to present two research projects at American Association for Cancer Research Annual Meeting this year in San Diego. I co-led these projects with my team in the USC Choices Lab and sharing our findings through posters and papers is a meaningful part of the research process.

  1. We evaluated the effectiveness of recruiting participants from the EHR vs community outreach for lung cancer risk research.
  2. We assessed clinical trial knowledge and beliefs among cancer patients before and after an education intervention.

Special thanks to our PI, Chanita Hughes Halbert, and co-authors Kelsie Campbell, MPH, Diana Morales, and Alexandra Lindgren.

Other highlights of AACR: It was great to talk with other researchers interested in health education, cancer prevention, early detection, and screening initiatives.

Let’s go! Fight on!”
