Educating Smokers About Lung Cancer Screening Using Tobacco Quitlines
This study is looking at the best ways to help heavy smokers learn about lung cancer screening. It involves two main groups: staff at tobacco quitlines and callers (smokers) who contact these quitlines. Quitline staff will receive a 60-minute training session. Callers, who are 55-80 years old, have a significant smoking history, and speak English, will be referred to educational materials about lung cancer screening. The study wants to see if more eligible smokers receive high-quality information about screening through these quitlines. Success will be measured by looking at communications, the healthcare perspective, and how many people are reached over a period of up to 4 years. The current recruitment status is unclear.
- Study design
- This is an interventional study planning to enroll 800 participants. It involves training quitline staff and referring callers to educational materials.
- What's involved
- Quitline staff will undergo a 60-minute educational session. Callers will be referred to educational materials and complete questionnaires at 1 week and 6 months.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- The study will measure outcomes for up to 4 years, and reach during a 6-month implementation period.

What this trial measures
- Content from communications (email, phone, monthly calls)Up to 4 years
Will be content analyzed using Atlas.ti qualitative software according to the adaptation framework from Stirman and colleagues. Will identify 1) who made the modification; 2) what was modified (i.e., content, context, training and evaluation); 3) for whom the modification was made (e.g., individual counselor); 4) context of the modification (e.g., format, setting, personnel, population); and 5) what was the nature of the modification (e.g., adding elements). Will also code for facilitators and barriers that are consistent with the constructs from CFIR. All textual data will be double coded and discussed by the researchers.
- Healthcare sector perspectiveUp to 4 years
As needed, will use a process-flow analysis to identify all resources utilized at each of the step of the program.
- ReachDuring 6 month implementation period
The analysis of the data from the logs and surveys will include examining the means, medians, standard deviations, and ranges overall and by state quitline for Reach
- Overall lung cancer screening rateUp to 6 months
- Effectiveness (Caller Substudy)Up to 6 months
Will be successful if callers who participate in the evaluation answer at least 58 percent (7/12) of the Adapted lung cancer screening (LCS)-12 Knowledge Measure questions correctly and have a PrepDM score of at least 80 (standard deviation \[SD\] = 17.7), which were observed in the original project.
