Summary
This trial uses a program called LungTalk and Facebook ads to encourage high-risk individuals to get screened for lung cancer. The goal is to increase awareness and motivate people to undergo screening. By targeting those at higher risk, the intervention aims to catch lung cancer early when it is more treatable.
Who is the study for?
The INSPIRE-Lung Study is for individuals who have a history of heavy smoking (at least 20 pack-years), including current smokers or those who quit within the last 15 years. It's not for people who've already had lung cancer screening, are being monitored for lung nodules, have been diagnosed with lung cancer, or have impaired decision-making.
What is being tested?
This study tests 'LungTalk', a communication intervention aimed at increasing lung cancer screening rates among high-risk groups using Facebook-targeted advertisements. It compares LungTalk to standard practices without tailored interventions.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial focuses on communication strategies rather than medical treatments, there are no direct side effects like you'd expect from drugs or surgeries. However, participants may experience emotional or psychological responses to the content.

Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Tailored health communication intervention (LungTalk)Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants will receive the tailored health intervention "LungTalk". LungTalk is a 10-15 minute long computer-tailored health communication and decision-making tool that is theoretically grounded in the Conceptual Model on Lung Cancer Screening Participation.
Group II: Non-tailored InterventionActive Control1 Intervention
Participants will receive non-tailored American Cancer Society (ACS) Lung Screening Informational Video as per standard of care. ACS Lung Screening Informational Video (ACS LSIV) is a non-tailored 5-minute video from the American Cancer Society about lung cancer screening designed for the lay individual.

Other Research
The most common treatments for lung cancer include chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy. Chemotherapy kills rapidly dividing cells, including cancer cells, but also affects normal cells, leading to side effects.
Targeted therapy uses drugs to specifically target genetic mutations or proteins involved in cancer cell growth and survival, offering a more precise treatment with potentially fewer side effects. Immunotherapy enhances the body's immune system to recognize and destroy cancer cells.
These treatments are vital for lung cancer patients as they provide multiple strategies to control or eliminate cancer, improving survival rates and quality of life. Increasing lung cancer screening uptake through communication strategies like LungTalk and Facebook-targeted Advertisement is crucial for early detection and timely treatment, which can significantly improve patient outcomes.
