First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
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 lead to
