Using Connected Health to Increase Lung Cancer Screening
This study will consist of two primary aims designed to help advance quality and utilization of lung cancer screening (LCS) within an academic and community-based medical system. The objective of Aim 1 is to pilot test the effect and feasibility of using direct outreach and telemedicine to increase LCS counseling and LDCT uptake among screening-eligible patients. Patients who confirm eligibility and agree to participate will be randomized into two study arms: 1) usual care or 2) telemedicine LCS counseling referral. For Aim 2, each arm will first complete a baseline survey to explore how individual beliefs and knowledge impact screening intention and uptake. Patients in both arms will also receive brief information on lung cancer screening guidelines and be asked to report LCS-related preferences after exposure to the information. All interventions will be administered using a secure, web-based platform.
