Interventions

  • Community health worker delivered outreach, shared decision-making, tobacco treatment, and navigation — BEHAVIORAL
    The CHW will perform: 1) patient outreach 2) patient-centered shared-decision making, 3) tobacco treatmnet counseling, and 4) navigation of logistical barriers
  • Lay Navigator delivered outreach, shared decision-making, tobacco treatment, and navigation — BEHAVIORAL
    The lay navigator will perform: 1) patient outreach 2) patient-centered shared-decision making, 3) tobacco treatment counseling, and 4) navigation of logistical barriers
  • Enhanced Usual Care — OTHER
    Participants will receive educational materials about lung cancer screening and usual lung cancer screening care through their primary care provider.

Study Details

Lung cancer screening (LCS) can reduce lung cancer-related mortality, but screening uptake remains low among eligible individuals. The goal of this study is to partner with community stakeholders to develop and pilot test a multi-component navigator-delivered intervention targeting key barriers to lung cancer screening and tobacco treatment utilization. Participants are randomized to enhanced usual care, a community health worker (CHW)-delivered intervention, or the same intervention delivered by a trained lay navigator. The intervention includes patient outreach, patient-centered shared decision-making, tobacco treatment counseling, and assistance navigating logistical barriers to care. The proposed activities will lay the groundwork for a subsequent fully powered randomized clinical trial evaluating CHW- and lay navigator-delivered approaches to facilitate access to lung cancer screening and tobacco treatment.

Arms

  • Active Comparator: Enhanced Usual Care
    Partcipants will receive educational materials about lung cancer screening
  • Experimental: Community Health Worker-delivered Intervention
    Participants will receive a four-part intervention delivered by a community health worker to improve lung cancer screening uptake. The intervention includes: 1) patient outreach, 2) patient-centered shared decision-making, 3) tobacco treatment counseling, and 4) navigation of logistical barriers to care.
  • Experimental: Lay Navigator-delivered Intervention
    Participants will receive the same four-part intervention delivered by a trained lay navigator to improve lung cancer screening uptake. The intervention includes: 1) patient outreach, 2) patient-centered shared decision-making, 3) tobacco treatment counseling, and 4) navigation of logistical barriers to care.
