Study Summary

This trial tests whether a multi-level intervention can improve communication, intentions, and knowledge between providers and patients, as well as referrals for screenings and completion of those screenings.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for English-speaking individuals aged 50-80 who currently smoke or quit within the last 15 years, have a history of heavy smoking (20+ pack-years), and haven't had lung screening in over 13 months. They must be scheduled for an upcoming clinic appointment and able to consent and complete interviews. Those with a history of lung cancer cannot participate.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is examining the effectiveness of two strategies: 'Provider Prompt' which reminds healthcare providers to discuss lung cancer screening, and 'Patient Outreach & Education' aimed at increasing patient knowledge about screening benefits.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial focuses on communication strategies rather than medical treatments, there are no direct side effects from medications involved. However, participants may experience anxiety or stress related to discussions about lung cancer screenings.
