Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This clinical trial develops a tailored screening and smoking cessation program for the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender (trans) and queer (LGBTQ) community of Seattle, Washington. A lung cancer screening program may help LGTBQ people who smoke overcome unique barriers that keep them from receiving preventive care, and constantly facing healthcare discrimination. Members of the LGBTQ community have historically smoked at higher rates than the general population and thus could benefit greatly from targeted efforts to improve lung cancer screening and smoking cessation implementation.

Detailed Description

OUTLINE:

AIM 1: Stakeholders (community organization leaders, medical providers of LGBTQ patients, and LGBTQ community members and tobacco users) participate in an interview over 45 minutes to 1 hour. Community members participate in focus groups over 1 hour,

AIM 2: Participants participate in focus groups over 1-1.5 hours.

AIM 3: Participants receive a patient navigation intervention consisting of a series of points of contact (mostly via telephone) between the patient navigator/tobacco treatment specialist (PN/TTS) and includes: 1) An introduction and enrollment in LCS, 2) facilitation of a shared decision-making (SDM) visit with the LCS-dedicated nurse practitioner, 3) individual assessment of barriers and facilitators to in-person low-dose CT screening, 4) explanation of results and needed follow-up, and 5) follow-up reminders. The PN may also provide an intervention for smoking cessation.

After completion of Aim 3 study intervention, participants are followed up at 3 months.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Health services research (patient navigation intervention)

Participants receive a patient navigation intervention consisting of a series of points of contact (mostly via telephone) between the PN/TTS and includes: 1) An introduction and enrollment in LCS, 2) facilitation of a SDM visit with the LCS-dedicated nurse practitioner, 3) individual assessment of barriers and facilitators to in-person low-dose CT screening, 4) explanation of results and needed follow-up, and 5) follow-up reminders. The PN may also provide an intervention for smoking cessation.

  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Number of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender (trans) and queer (LGBTQ) community stakeholders who participate in the Aim 1 interviews/focus groups (Aim 1) [Up to 3 months]

    2. Number of LBGTQ community members who participate in the Aim 2 focus groups (Aim 2) [Up to 9 months]

    3. Acceptability of patient navigation and smoking cessation interventions (Aim 2) [Up to 12 months]

      The Acceptability of Intervention Measure (AIM) will be summarized and presented as range of scores from 1 (low acceptability) to 5 (high acceptability), with at least 75% of participants giving the interventions at least a "4" the threshold for acceptability.

    4. Appropriateness of patient navigation and smoking cessation interventions (Aim 3) [Up to 12 months]

      The Intervention Appropriateness Measure (IAM) will be summarized and presented as range of scores from 1 (low appropriateness) to 5 (high appropriateness), with at least 75% of participants giving the interventions at least a "4" the threshold for appropriateness.

    5. Effectiveness of shared decision making visit: knowledge (Aim 3) [Up to 12 months]

      Pre- and post-intervention Lung cancer screening Knowledge Survey (LKS) responses will be compared via Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel tests for all categorical data.

    6. Effectiveness of shared decision making visit: decisional conflict (Aim 3) [Up to 12 months]

      The Decisional Conflict Scale (DCS) will be summarized as the median for participants from 0 (extreme certainty) to 100 (extreme uncertainty).
