Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study compares two ways to share lung cancer screening information with people who call tobacco quitlines. Participants are quitline clients aged 50 to 80 with a heavy smoking history. One approach offers extra coaching and navigation support. The goal is to see which method leads to more people getting screened.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
behavioral intervention: high-touch strategy (educational materials, decision coaching, navigation)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a scalable method to increase lung cancer screening among people who smoke, potentially catching cancers earlier.
What could go wrong
This is a behavioral study without a drug, so the impact may be modest. Results depend on quitline clients' willingness to engage, and screening rates may not change significantly.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: Quitline Client Quitline client participants must meet the criteria for LCS with regards to age (50 to 80 years) and smoking history (20+ pack-years). This project will not re-confirm quitline client participant eligibility for screening. Tobacco treatment specialists will elicit study interest from only eligible quitline clients. Representative of the Quitline Community Representative of the Quitline Community will include any employee of the quitline service provider, representative from an organization that collaborates or funds a tobacco quitline, and/or a representative of the state department of health. All individuals will be adults (18 years and older) and able to speak English. Representative of the Healthcare Sector Representative of the healthcare sector will include any adult who works in healthcare, including but not limited to physicians, healthcare administrative leaders/managers, nurses, advanced practice providers. All individuals will be adults (18 years and older) and able to speak English. Exclusion Criteria: Not applicable as our focus on quitline clients and representatives (adults) of the quitline community or the healthcare sector.
