About this trial

Evaluate the impact of the patient navigation program on the proportion of patients who complete lung cancer screening (LCS), defined as undergoing a low dose computed tomography (LDCT)

Eligibility criteria

This trial accepts healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Meets current USPSTF guidelines for lung cancer screening (LCS)

20 pack-year smoking history Note: A pack-year is a way of calculating how much a person has smoked in their lifetime.

Currently smokes or has quit smoking within the past 15 years

Identifies as Black or African-American Note: Both Hispanic/Latino and Non-Hispanic/Latino patients are eligible as long as they also identify as Black or African-American (eg, Afro-Latino).

Disqualifiers

Known history of cancer (except squamous cell skin cancer), or coughing up blood in the past 5 years, as reported by the individual

Has undergone a previous lung cancer screening

Inability to speak English

Medical, psychological, or social condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, may increase the patient's risk or limit the patient's adherence with study requirements

Trial design

Design model

Single group

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Patient Navigation

    Behavioral

    Navigation will address the following 4 domains of barriers to screening: * Individual * Organizational * Economic * Sociocultural At the first visit, navigators will assess the participant's barriers in each of these domains. Any follow-up visits, if necessary, will be used to help the participant overcome these barriers to screening

Treatment groups

675 Participants

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Number of study patients who complete lung cancer screening (LCS) through the patient navigation process

Evaluate the impact of the patient navigation program on the number of patients who complete lung cancer screening (LCS), defined as undergoing a low dose computed tomography (LDCT).

Time frame
2 weeks to 10 months following day 1, varies by participant

Secondary outcomes

1

Assess the feasibility and acceptability of the patient navigation program

Determine the number of participants that are satisfied with the navigation program by utilizing Was It Worth It instrument; that consists of 8 items that are are answered "yes", "no" or "uncertain".

Time frame
Day 1
2

Assess the feasibility and acceptability of the patient navigation program

Determine the number of participants that are satisfied with the navigation program by utilizing Was It Worth It instrument; that consists of 8 items that are are answered "yes", "no" or "uncertain" after the navigation program.

Time frame
2 weeks to 10 months following day 1, varies by participant
3

Assess the impact of the patient navigation program on patient health-related quality of life at baseline.

Utilizing Patient-Reported Outcome Measurement Information System (PROMIS) v1.2 Global Health Scale (10 items) scores before and after navigation intervention. Patient-Reported Outcome Measurement Information System (PROMIS) v1.2 Global Health Scale (10 items), measures assess physical, mental, and social health where 5=Never, 4=Rarely, 3=Sometimes, 2=Often, and 1=Always. Higher scores indicate better health.

Time frame
Day 1
4

Assess the impact of the patient navigation program on patient health-related quality of life after navigation intervention.

Utilizing Patient-Reported Outcome Measurement Information System (PROMIS) v1.2 Global Health Scale (10 items) scores before and after navigation intervention. Patient-Reported Outcome Measurement Information System (PROMIS) v1.2 Global Health Scale (10 items), measures assess physical, mental, and social health, where 5=Never, 4=Rarely, 3=Sometimes, 2=Often, and 1=Always. Higher scores indicate better health.

Time frame
