Summary

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer related mortality. Lung cancer screening (LCS) with low dose computed tomography (LDCT) decreases mortality rate of lung cancer by 20%. Yet many patients who are eligible for lung cancer screening are still falling through the cracks which prevents patients the ability to detect lung cancer early. This study will test the effect of a a multi-level intervention on ordering LDCT within 6 months after patient enrollment. Our proposed intervention includes (1) Primary care provider notifications of patients' LCS eligibility; (2) patients' education ; (3) patients' referral to financial navigation resources; and (4) patients' reminder to discuss LCS during PCP visit.

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	Patient education	Patients will be sent information (in preferred language) on lung cancer risk, lung cancer screening (LCS) benefits, harms, false positive rates, recommendations of follow-up for positive results, and exam insurance coverage.
BEHAVIORAL	Referral to financial navigation resources	Patients who self-report needing help with health-related social risks at baseline will be sent a brochure (in preferred language) from patient advocate foundation (PAF), a national non-profit financial navigation organization, where patients can self-refer.
BEHAVIORAL	Patient Reminders	Within 2 weeks prior to primary care appointment, patients will receive a text message or a phone call (if not having a phone that receives text messaging) encouraging patients to discuss the LCS with their provider.
BEHAVIORAL	Provider Reminers	Within 2 weeks prior to primary care appointment, providers will be notified of their patient's eligibility for LCS.
