About this trial

The Quit and Screen Project seeks to engage healthcare providers in helping adults who smoke to quit tobacco use, including menthol cigarettes and flavored cigars, and screen for lung cancer early as strategies to reduce multiple chronic diseases.

The goal of this clinical trial is to test the feasibility and impact of the Quit and Screen Project alone versus the G02 (Global Knowledge Center for Lung Cancer) Lung Cancer Screening training + the Quit and Screen Project training modules on changes in provider knowledge, attitudes, and behavioral intentions related to provider advice to quit smoking and referrals for low dose computed tomography among health care providers randomly assigned to each condition. Participants will complete the training modules and complete pre- and post-tests to assess these outcomes.

4

Provider Perceptions about patient barriers to smoking cessation

Perceptions about patient barriers to smoking cessation were assessed using modified questions from a questions published in Weaver et al. 2012, Carter-Harris et al. (2017), and Raz et al. 2019.

Time frame
This is pre-post design where participants will complete a pre-test immediately before completing a 30-60 minute online training and then a post-test immediately after completing training.

Secondary outcomes

1

Characteristics of enrolled healthcare providers

Study process tracking metrics will be used to assess the demographic, training, and clinical practice characteristics of providers who enroll in the training.

Time frame
This is pre-post design. This outcome will be measured during the pre-test immediately before participants complete the 30-60 minute online training.
2

Retention: Percent of providers complete the training after enrolling

Study process tracking metrics will be used to assess retention of providers who enroll in the training.

Time frame
This is pre-post design where participants will complete a pre-test immediately before completing a 30-60 minute online training and then a post-test immediately after completing training.
3

Adherence to completing training modules: Percent of modules completed

Study process tracking metrics and training completion data will be used to assess the percent of training modules completed (i.e., the number of modules completed divided by the total available modules).

Time frame
This is pre-post design where participants will complete a pre-test immediately before completing a 30-60 minute online training and then a post-test immediately after completing training.
4

Preferences regarding training

Questions will assess provider feedback on the online training module.
