Health Education Approach to Lung Screening

This study is testing a patient navigation program to help more people get screened for lung cancer. Patient navigation involves a guide who helps you overcome challenges like individual, organizational, economic, and social barriers to screening. To join, you must be between 50 and 80 years old, meet current guidelines for lung cancer screening, and have a 20 pack-year smoking history (meaning you've smoked about a pack a day for 20 years). The main goal is to see how many people complete their lung cancer screening through this navigation process. The study is currently unclear on its recruitment status.

Study design
This is a single-arm study, meaning everyone receives the patient navigation intervention. It plans to enroll 675 participants.
What's involved
Not specified in the trial record.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Participants will be followed for 2 weeks to 10 months after their first day in the study, depending on when they complete screening.

What this trial measures

  • Number of study patients who complete lung cancer screening (LCS) through the patient navigation process2 weeks to 10 months following day 1, varies by participant

    Evaluate the impact of the patient navigation program on the number of patients who complete lung cancer screening (LCS), defined as undergoing a low dose computed tomography (LDCT).
