Study Summary

This trial tests different messages to increase response rates to a survey that estimates eligibility for lung cancer screening. This helps improve future interventions to increase screening.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for people aged 50-80 who've had a primary care visit at Penn Medicine between 2020-2025 and are eligible for lung cancer screening. It's not for those with a history of lung cancer, who've completed lung cancer screening at Penn Medicine, or don't want to be contacted for research.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is testing how different types of messages affect the response rates to a survey estimating eligibility for lung cancer screening. The goal is to find the most effective messaging strategy to encourage participation in future screenings.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves only receiving informational messages and completing surveys, there are no medical side effects associated with traditional clinical trials that test drugs or medical procedures.
