Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
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).

- description
- The Should I Screen educational website, developed by our consultant, Rafael Meza, PhD, is available at no cost, is written at an 8th grade reading level, requires 15 minutes to use, and undergoes regular updates (https://shouldiscreen.com). The goal is to increase lung screening awareness and to encourage a shared decision making visit with a provider. Sections of the website include the benefits (the reduced likelihood of dying from lung cancer) and harms (false alarms, overdiagnosis, more testing, and invasive procedures) of screening, causes of lung cancer, methods to reduce lung cancer risk, and the lung cancer risk calculator. Improvements in knowledge have been demonstrated with individuals eligible for screening.

- description
- The Should I Screen print-based education (included with this IRB protocol) will be developed in Aim 1 and compared to the Should I Screen website in Aim 2. It will also be at the 8th grade level and will require 15 minutes to read. Although it will contain the same topics as the website, there is one inherent difference - it is not possible to include the interactive risk calculator in the print version. The print-based version will list all of the risk criteria that are included in the algorithm so that participants can see which ones apply to them. However, the risk calculator requires the computer algorithm to calculate a person's 6-year risk of developing lung cancer.
