Experimental: Intervention
Training of Lung Cancer Screening Personnel on implementation of the United States Public Health Service (US PHS) Guidelines for Smoking Cessation and Performance Coaching during Implementation Phase of the Study Data collection from Patients: demographics, health status, smoking history, quitting behavior, perceptions of lung cancer risk and worry, impact of screening on tobacco use behavior, and exposure to the intervention. (baseline, <14 days, 3 months, and 6 months) |
Other: Personnel Training and Coaching Calls
Training of Lung Cancer Screening Personnel on implementation of the US PHS Guidelines for Smoking Cessation and Performance Coaching during Implementation Phase of the Study Each site will have a coaching team: two members of our research team including an expert in tobacco cessation and an expert in lung cancer screening. Active coaching includes six, 1-1 ½ hour video exchanges among program sites and coaching teams, once every 4-6 weeks over an 8-month implementation phase. One week prior to the call, each site will be prompted with an email to inform the coaching team of any challenges associated with implementation. |
No Intervention: Usual Care
No training or performance coaching calls on personnel, just usual clinic practice. Data collection from Patients: demographics, health status, smoking history, quitting behavior, perceptions of lung cancer risk and worry, impact of screening on tobacco use behavior, and exposure to the intervention. (baseline, <14 days, 3 months, and 6 months) |
- Percentage of Patients With 7-day Sustained Smoking Abstinence Reported in the Patient Survey [ Time Frame: 6 months (after baseline) ]7-day sustained smoking abstinence will be measured by the question "Have you smoked a cigarette (or other tobacco products), even a puff, in the last 7 days?" in patient survey.
- Salivary Cotinine Test for Non-Smokers [ Time Frame: 6 months (after baseline) ]7-day Sustained Smoking abstinence will be validated using a salivary cotinine test in non smokers. Abstinence will be determined by percentage of smokers whose tests come back negative for cotinine. Low levels of cotinine less than 15 milligrams per milliliter (mg/mL) would suggest true smoking cessation and levels higher than or equal to 15 mg/mL would suggest they are still smoking.
- Short-term Smoking Abstinence - Patient Survey [ Time Frame: 3 months (after baseline) ]Short-tem smoking abstinence will be measured as part of the patient survey as the percentage of patients who report that they have not smoked.
- Total Number of Services Participant Reported Received at 14 Days [ Time Frame: <= 14 days after baseline ]Fidelity to the intervention will be measured by a patient survey that asks patients if they received up to 18 cessation services during the screening visit. This is the total each participant reported receiving and can range from 0 to 18, with higher values representing more services.

Plan Description: | Wake Forest (WF) NCORP Research Base (RB) is committed to following the NIH Statement on Sharing Research Data (http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-03-032.html). As of July 2018, the WF NCORP RB signed an agreement with NCI to contribute de-identified data and data dictionaries from clinical trials conducted through our RB to the NCI National Clinical Trials Network (NCTN)/NCORP data archive within 6 months of primary and non-primary publications of phase II/III and phase III trials (https://nctn-data-archive.nci.nih.gov/). This will become the primary means for sharing raw data and we will adhere to the guidelines spelled out in the NCTN/NCORP Data Archive Usage Guide. |
