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.

What this could mean

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

Active substance: Remote decision coaching with navigation
What this could lead to: If successful, this could show that remote coaching helps more high-risk people get appropriate lung cancer screening and quit smoking.
What could go wrong: This is a behavioral study, not a drug trial, so the impact is limited to improving decision-making. Results may vary by clinic and patient engagement.
