Increasing Adherence to Lung Cancer Screening
Investigators are conducting a pragmatic randomized trial testing the effectiveness of patient and clinician nudge strategies on adherence to lung cancer screening (LCS) \& diagnostic follow-up across eligible primary care clinicians \& patients. Following the trial, a subsample of patients \& clinicians will be invited to one-time semi-structured interview \& survey to identify individual \& system-level factors that may restrict or enhance the impact of strategies.

Who may be able to participate
Inclusion Criteria: Clinicians will be eligible if they: 1. are practicing primary care or specialty care physicians at a recruiting site within the University of Pennsylvania Health System; 2. care for patients who completed LCS via LDCT in 2019-2023; and 3. do not opt-out of study participation. Patients will be eligible if they: 1. are eligible for LCS based on 2021 US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) population guidelines (aged 50-80; smoking history of 20-pack years; smoked within the last 15 years) 2. completed LCS via LDCT in 2019-2023; 3. have not been diagnosed with lung cancer; 4. meet criteria for non-adherence; 5. remain eligible for LCS during the trial enrollment period; and 6. receive LCS care from a clinician that has not opted-out of study participation Exclusion Criteria: Patients will be excluded if they: a) have a highly suspicious baseline LDCT (Lung-RADS 4B/X) given the presence of existing clinical pathways to ensure adherence in this group
