NCT07517692
The goal of this pilot clinical trial is to learn whether the patient and provider support program, called FIX-SDM, helps patients and providers engage in shared decision-making for lung cancer screening during primary care visits and increases the number of patients who complete lung cancer screening. The investigators will also assess the acceptability of the support program and the feasibility of the study protocol to prepare for a future large-scale trial. The main questions this trial aims to answer are: * Does the patient and provider support increase the number of patients who complete lung cancer screening? * Does the patient and provider support help patients and health care providers engage more in shared decision-making and improve the quality of the patient's decision regarding lung cancer screening? * Is the study protocol feasible? The investigators will compare the patient and provider support program to usual care to see if the support increases the number of patients who complete lung cancer screening. Primary care provider participants will: * Receive the provider support session and educational materials, or follow usual practice * Answer a baseline survey and a follow-up survey in 6 months * Answer additional survey questions regarding the acceptability of the provider support session if they receive it Patient participants will * Receive a smoking history survey, a decision aid, and text messages about lung cancer screening prior to the primary care visit, or receive usual care * Complete the baseline survey and two follow-up surveys, one right after the primary care visit and another 3 months after the visit.

Lung cancer is responsible for more deaths in the United States than breast, prostate and colon cancer combined and is the number one cancer killer of Veterans. This is because lung cancer is usually diagnosed when the disease has spread, and cure is less likely. Lung cancer screening (LCS) finds cancer at an earlier stage when it is curable, yet only 20% of eligible Veterans have been screened. Uptake is even lower among Black Veterans despite higher lung cancer risk. Using prediction models to identify high-benefit people for whom LCS should be encouraged improves efficiency and reduces disparities. Moreover, it is more patient-centered as shared decision-making conversations can be tailored with personalized information. The US Preventive Services Task Force has called for research to demonstrate that prediction-augmented LCS can be feasibly implemented at the point-of-care. The investigators propose for VA to lead this effort with a large-scale pragmatic clinical trial to show that prediction-augmented LCS is both feasible and improves LCS uptake.
