Summary

This study tests whether offering telehealth options and text reminders can increase the number of people who have a shared decision-making visit for lung cancer screening. Researchers will enroll 6,000 adults aged 50-80 with a history of smoking. The goal is to see if these strategies work equally well across different races and sexes.

What this could mean

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

Active substance: behavioral interventions (telehealth invitations and text reminders)
What this could lead to: If successful, this could show that telehealth makes lung cancer screening more accessible and equitable for different groups.
What could go wrong: This is a behavioral study, not a drug trial, so results may vary by setting. It focuses on decision-making, not directly on cancer outcomes.
