Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
Lung cancer is the most frequently dianosed cancer worldwide. To date, no screening method has been able to establish itself as routinely recommended by the guidelines. In this prospective study with 1:1 randomized questioning using an Internet tool, physicians will be asked in 2 phases (before and after intervention with a fact box) about their assessment of the benefits and risks of lung cancer screening by thoracic computed tomography and about a potential intention to change referral behavior. Randomly assigned, half of the participants will receive the same information in addition to the fact box graphically presented as a Cates plot.

- after being asked about current referral practices and assessment of benefits and risks of lung cancer screening, all respondents will receive the Fact box after which they will be randomized into two equal groups. The first group (Arm 1) receives a Cates plot and then another survey about assessment of benefits and risks of lung cancer screening and potential change in referral behavior.
