First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests whether an online training course for healthcare providers can improve their knowledge, attitudes, and intentions to help patients quit smoking and get screened for lung cancer. About 300 providers who are members of the National Medical Association and serve patients who smoke will take the training and complete surveys. The goal is to see if the training fills gaps in current education and encourages more referrals for lung cancer screening.
