Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This study is an interventional study intended to assess the impact of a centralized outreach intervention that includes shared decision-making about lung cancer screening (LCS) in LCS-eligible primary care patients. The study's goal is to increase LCS rates compared to usual care and thus reduce lung cancer deaths.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Other: Educational Materials and Decision Counseling
N/A

Detailed Description

The research team will select primary care practices included in areas where lung cancer mortality is high. An outreach registry of primary care patients obtaining care at participating practices who meet study eligibility criteria will be created from the electronic medical record. 500 primary care patients will be randomly selected for the Outreach Contact with Decision Counseling (OCDC) Group from this outreach registry. Patients targeted for inclusion in the study will have a scheduled primary care appointment 18-23 days after initial outreach contact.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
No Intervention: Usual Care Control Group

Active Comparator: Outreach Contact with Decision Counseling Group

Other: Educational Materials and Decision Counseling
Participants in the active comparator arm will receive an introductory letter and lung cancer screening educational materials. A site care coordinator will contact each participant post receiving materials.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Assess impact of a centralized outreach intervention that includes shared decision-making (SDM) on lung cancer screening rates compared to usual care. [24 months]

    Implement a centralized outreach intervention that includes shared decision-making (SDM) about lung cancer screening (LCS) (screening eligibility assessment, education, and decision support) in LCS-eligible primary care patients. The study's ultimate goal is to increase LCS rates compared to usual care and thus reduce lung cancer deaths.
