Summary

This trial is developing a tailored screening and smoking cessation program for the LGBTQ community in Seattle to help them quit smoking and prevent lung cancer.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for LGBTQ individuals in Seattle aged 50-80 who currently smoke or have a history of heavy smoking, aiming to improve lung cancer screening and cessation support. Healthcare providers serving this community and leaders involved with LGBTQ organizations are also eligible.

What is being tested?

The program being tested includes patient navigation, questionnaires, a smoking cessation intervention, and carbon monoxide measurement to tailor lung cancer screening and help the LGBTQ community quit smoking.

What are the potential side effects?

There may not be direct side effects from participating as it's more about support and monitoring rather than medication. However, quitting smoking can lead to withdrawal symptoms like irritability, cravings, or difficulty concentrating.

Experimental Treatment

Group I: Health services research (patient navigation intervention)Experimental Treatment4 Interventions

Participants receive a patient navigation intervention consisting of a series of points of contact (mostly via telephone) between the PN/TTS and includes: 1) An introduction and enrollment in LCS, 2) facilitation of a SDM visit with the LCS-dedicated nurse practitioner, 3) individual assessment of barriers and facilitators to in-person low-dose CT screening, 4) explanation of results and needed follow-up, and 5) follow-up reminders. Participants also undergo carbon monoxide measurement by exhaling into a disposable monitor for 10 seconds at the initial visit and the post-intervention visit. The PN may also provide an intervention for smoking cessation.
