Centralized Lung Cancer Screening Engagement in At-Risk Populations

This will be a two-arm, parallel, pragmatic randomized controlled trial (RCT) to evaluate the effectiveness of a centralized patient outreach strategy in increasing lung cancer screening (LCS) completion among populations served by Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs). This study will randomize individuals potentially eligible for LCS (50-80 years, current or past smokers) to receive centralized patient outreach in addition to usual care (outreach arm) and usual care alone (usual care arm). Individuals assigned to the outreach arm will receive centralized patient outreach from the Lung screening team through a letter followed by up to three attempts of telephone contact. Individuals assigned to the usual care arm will not receive any contact during the study period and the referral for LCS will be made at the treating physician's discretion.
