One question, over a thousand conversations
Each chapter was ranked by the number of Plus One conversations its members held over the summer: asking people whether they know someone between 50 and 80 with any smoking history, and starting a conversation about lung cancer screening.
The six chapters below led the field. Together they held 969 conversations, more than four in five of the summer’s total.
