About this trial
This study evaluates a smoking cessation intervention (CONNECTing to LungCare) for improving shared decision-making conversations about smoking cessation and lung cancer screening between patients and providers. Shared decision making is a patient care model in which providers offer information regarding risks and benefits, patients express their values and preferences, and then healthcare decisions are jointly discussed between the patient and provider. Patient education, aided by decision support tools, can increase patients' knowledge, decrease their decisional conflict, promote decision making, and improve the patients' perception of risk. CONNECTing to LungCare is an interactive education intervention that addresses lung cancer screening and smoking cessation and provides participants with a tailored summary that may make them more likely to have shared decision-making discussions with their providers about smoking cessation and lung cancer screening.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Recruitment rate
The percentage of participants who were contacted and joined the study will be reported.
Retention rates
The percentage of participants who joined the study and completed the program will be reported.
Adherence rates
The percentage of participants who joined the study and completed all tasks within the program will be reported.
Overall time required to recruit to the target sample size (Feasibility Cohort)
The overall time in weeks required to recruit participants for the feasibility cohort will be reported.
Secondary outcomes
Smoking cessation rates
Will evaluate the impact of the intervention on smoking cessation rates. Rates of smoking cessation will be measured by self-report and validated by salivary cotinine levels.
Lung cancer screening (LCS) rates
Rates of LCS will be evaluated through review of the electronic health record (EHR)
Shared decision making about LCS
Evidence of shared decision-making conversation will be obtained through one week follow up phone call and with review of the EHR three months after the primary care physician visit.
