Assessing the Integration of Tobacco Cessation Treatment Into Lung Cancer Screening (LCS)

Completed · Phase 4

Conditions studied: Smoking, Tobacco

In brief

This randomized controlled trial seeks to evaluate the effectiveness of alternative strategies to integrate smoking cessation interventions into the delivery of low-dose CT (LDCT) lung cancer screening. Using a factorial design, current smokers who enroll will be randomly assigned to receive these interventions: (1) smoking cessation counseling support by telephone or videoconferencing (short duration vs. long duration); (2) nicotine patch treatment (NRT) (short vs.long duration); (3) counselor-facilitated referral (vs. no referral) to an online resource to connect smokers to a community-based social service resources.
