educating quitline callers about lung cancer screening

Conditions: Population at Risk

Summary: the specific aims are: 1. to evaluate the potential barriers of providing educational lung screening interventions to quitline users, the investigators will seek input from 10-20 stakeholders on the newly adapted print version of the should i screen website, and on our proposed aim 2 recruitment and retention procedures. 2. to conduct a randomized intervention, comparing: 1) shouldiscreen.com website, (web; n=150); vs. 2) the should i screen print version (print; n=150). h2.1. at 1- and 4-months post-randomization, the web arm will have significantly higher lung screening knowledge and intention to undergo lung screening, compared to print. randomization will be stratified by age and pack-years in order to incorporate those who are recently eligible for screening, ages 50-54 and with 20-29 pack years. h2.2 the investigators will explore several potential moderators (age and e-health literacy). for example, the investigators will explore whether older vs younger participants have differential knowledge outcomes when using the print vs web interventions. h2.3 we will explore whether mediators (prior lung screening, current primary care provider, lung cancer perceived risk) positively affects knowledge and screening intentions. 3. to evaluate reach (% of quitline users enrolled) and engagement (% who read the intervention materials) by study arm and subgroup (e.g., method of quitline access, age, e-health literacy).

aim 1: the 30-45 minute qualitative interviews will obtain: 1) feedback on the print adaptation of the should i screen website (the investigators will send it in advance of the interview), 2) recommendations for effective recruitment and retention procedures in aim 2, 3) feedback on methods to increase the likelihood that participants will enroll and engage with the interventions (e.g., whether to present the study information immediately following initial contact with the quitline or later), 4) ideas to increase the likelihood that participants will contact their providers for an appointment to discuss lung screening, and 5) feedback on the aim 2 measures regarding feasibility and acceptability. aim 2: h2.1. at 1- and 4-months post-randomization, the web arm will have significantly higher lung screening knowledge and intentions to undergo lung screening, compared to print. h2.2 moderators include, age, e-health literacy. for example, the investigators expect that younger participants will have significantly increased knowledge in the web (vs print) arm, whereas intervention arm will have less of an impact among the older participants. h2.3 mediators (e.g., prior lung screening, current primary care provider, lung cancer perceived risk) will positively affect knowledge and screening intentions. aim 3. to evaluate reach (% of quitline users enrolled) and engagement (% who read the intervention materials) by study arm and subgroup (e.g., age, e-health literacy). the investigators will assess the feasibility for widespread implementation of both interventions
