ELFE Trial Summary

"This trial aims to learn more about what helps to encourage more people to get screened for lung cancer."

Who is the study for?
This trial is for patients aged 50-80 who are eligible for lung cancer screening, have a history of smoking, and receive care at specified UCDH clinics. It's also for UCDH primary care providers and staff. People under 49, non-UCDH staff, those already screened for lung cancer, non-consenting individuals or those not fluent in English or Spanish, and patients with existing cancer cannot join.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study aims to understand how to improve lung cancer screening rates by testing two approaches: a 'Pre-Visit Planner' tool alone versus the planner combined with 'MyChart', an electronic health record system. The effectiveness of these interventions in increasing screenings will be compared.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves informational tools rather than medical treatments or drugs, there are no direct physical side effects associated with participating. However, participants may experience inconvenience or require additional time commitment.
