Summary

This study tests whether a remote decision coaching program helps people at high risk for lung cancer make better-informed choices about screening. About 594 participants aged 50-77 who smoke or recently quit will receive either coaching or usual care. The goal is to see if coaching improves shared decision-making, increases screening rates, and encourages smoking cessation.
