What this trial studies
This study focuses on understanding the factors that influence participation in lung cancer screening among patients and healthcare providers. It involves a two-arm randomized comparative effectiveness intervention to assess the impact of a Pre-Visit Planner and a Pre-Visit Planner combined with MyChart on increasing screening rates compared to usual care. The study aims to identify barriers and facilitators within the patient, primary care team, and health system contexts to enhance screening uptake.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are patients aged 50-80 with a history of smoking who are eligible for lung cancer screening.
Not a fit: Patients who have already undergone lung cancer screening or those with an existing cancer diagnosis may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could significantly increase the rates of lung cancer screening, leading to earlier detection and improved patient outcomes.
How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown success in enhancing cancer screening rates through targeted interventions, suggesting that this approach may be effective.
