This study is looking at ways to help more people get screened for lung cancer, especially those who visit the emergency department (ED). It's testing two approaches: a "Basic Referral" where you get written information and a phone number for a lung cancer screening (LCS) program, and a "Facilitated Referral and Text Messaging" approach. In the second approach, the LCS program will contact you directly to discuss screening and schedule it, plus you'll receive text message reminders. The study wants to see if these methods can increase the number of people who get screened for lung cancer. You might be able to join if you are 50-80 years old, have a significant smoking history, speak English, and are a current patient in a URMC-involved ED. The study's status is unclear.

Study design

This is an interventional study that plans to enroll 349 participants. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups.

What's involved

If you join, you will either receive written materials and a phone number for the LCS program, or the LCS program will contact you directly and you will receive text messages to encourage screening.

Compensation

Not stated in the trial record.

Follow-up

The study will assess lung cancer screening uptake and downstream care from enrollment through participation, with the first assessment around 120 days.
