NCT ID NCT07165691

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests a telehealth coaching program called TELESCOPE, designed to help Hispanic adults at high risk for lung cancer decide whether to get screened. The program includes a decision aid, smoking cessation support, and help navigating the screening process. Researchers will enroll 91 participants to see if the program is feasible, acceptable, and increases the use of low-dose CT scans for early detection.

Active substance

telehealth decision coaching with navigation

What this could lead to

If successful, this could show that a culturally tailored coaching program helps more Hispanic adults get screened for lung cancer and make informed choices.

What could go wrong

This is a small early feasibility study with only 91 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The main goal is to test if the program works in this setting, not to prove it reduces cancer deaths.
