What is the purpose of this trial?

Adherence to annual follow up is critical to achieving mortality benefits and optimizing cost-effectiveness of lung cancer screening (LCS). However, adherence to LCS follow-up in the real world is suboptimal. Using telehealth, the investigators will co-create Tele-Navigation of Lung Cancer Screening with patients and LCS stakeholders as an intervention to promote adherence of follow-up LCS. The investigators will then implement the Tele-Navi LCS intervention to a pilot sample of patients and evaluate its feasibility in the primary care setting. The investigators will measure the number of patient participants who completed Tele-Navi LCS and follow-up LCS within 180 days from Tele-Navi LCS.

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?

This trial is for English-speaking individuals who are eligible for and overdue a low-dose CT scan (LDCT) as part of lung cancer screening follow-up. Participants must have had their initial screening at UMMH and possess the technology to complete study activities, such as video calls. Those with a previous or active cancer diagnosis, nursing home residents, or pregnant individuals cannot join.

What Are the Treatments Tested in This Trial?

Interventions

• Tele-Navi LCS

Trial Overview The Tele-Navi LCS intervention uses telehealth to improve adherence to follow-up lung cancer screenings. The study will create this program with patient input and test its feasibility in primary care by tracking if participants complete it and their subsequent LDCT within 180 days.
