Summary

This trial is testing whether navigator decision coaching, compared to enhanced usual care, results in better decision making for lung cancer screening, more screenings, and increased adherence to repeat screenings and diagnostic testing. A booster coaching session is also being tested to see if it increases adherence to repeat screenings.

Who is the study for?
The TELESCOPE trial is for English-speaking adults aged 50-77 who have a significant smoking history (at least 20 pack-years) and are either current smokers or quit within the last 15 years. They must be due for a non-emergency medical visit but not pregnant, without lung cancer history, nor screened for it in the past year. Health providers involved need to work at participating sites.
What is being tested?
This study tests if remote decision coaching with navigation intervention (TELESCOPE) improves shared decision-making in lung cancer screening compared to usual care. It aims to increase knowledge about screening, encourage more discussions, and boost adherence to repeat screenings and smoking cessation referrals.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves decision coaching rather than medication or invasive procedures, traditional side effects are not expected. However, participants may experience psychological impacts from increased awareness of their health status.

Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: TELESCOPE interventionExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants will be surveyed at baseline and at one-week after the scheduled primary care office visit. If a participant is a current smoker then they are offered and navigated to evidence-based smoking cessation. If the participant is interested in screening, an LDCT is ordered. Support for screening, diagnostic testing and oncology care will be provided as needed from the Nurse Navigators.
Group II: Enhanced usual care (EUC)Active Control1 Intervention
Participants will be surveyed at baseline and at one-week after the scheduled primary care office visit. Primary and secondary outcome data related to the office visit will be collected.
