Interventions
Basic Referral
Participants are verbally referred to the lung cancer screening program and their primary care provider if applicable. Written materials with contact information for the lung cancer screening program navigator are provided.
Facilitated Referral
A lung cancer screening requisition form is submitted to the lung cancer screening program on behalf of the participant during the emergency department visit. The screening program will contact the participant to discuss screening and schedule a low dose CT scan if appropriate.
Text Messaging
Participants receive a series of up to 9 theory informed text messages designed to increase awareness, motivation, and completion of lung cancer screening.
