Summary
This study tests whether giving smokers and former smokers a personalized risk report (based on clinical and genetic factors) helps doctors order lung cancer screening and helps patients follow through. About 915 participants will be randomly assigned to usual care or one of two versions of the risk feedback tool. The goal is to see if tailored information can increase prevention behaviors in primary care.
