Lung cancer symptoms awareness among Ethiopian adults: A latent class analysis
Only one-fourth of participants were classified as class 3, denoted as "good awareness," indicating a significant gap in symptom awareness. Respiratory symptoms were mostly well-known. Class membership varied across sociodemographic and related characteristics. Hence, there is a need for class-specific educational intervention and a focus on non-respiratory symptoms.
