Extensive work has been previously undertaken in relation to general cancer risk factor awareness. The Cancer Awareness Measure (CAM) is a validated survey developed by Kings University, UCL and Cancer Research UK. The CAM was carried out in North Tyneside in winter 2021 with over 400 individuals surveyed, making up a representative sample of the borough population. While not specifically focused on lung cancer, the CAM covers awareness of signs and symptoms of cancer, factors affecting making an appointment, risk factors for cancers and awareness of the cancer screening programmes. This data showed that awareness was lowest amongst the routine manual and non-working population.
