Clinical Trial Summary

Lung cancer suffers from large racial and socioeconomic disparities. Yet those at the highest risk of lung cancer death - current smokers, blacks, and individuals with low socioeconomic status (SES) and negative social determinants of health (SDH) - are less likely to receive preventive health services, including the two most effective interventions to reduce lung cancer mortality: tobacco dependence treatment and lung cancer screening (LCS) with low-dose computed tomography (LDCT). At Boston Medical Center (BMC) these preventive services are grossly underutilized, in part due to barriers our patients face in accessing these outpatient programs. Innovative approaches are needed to guide high-risk smokers to post-discharge early lung cancer detection services.

The overarching goal of this study is to reduce disparities in lung cancer morbidity and mortality by using hospitalization at an urban safety net hospital as an opportunity to connect high-risk smokers to both LDCT lung cancer screening and tobacco dependence treatment.

In addition to inpatient shared decision making [SDM] by an NP using a decision aid, screen-eligible smokers will also be connected with a community health worker (CHW) to facilitate access to outpatient smoking cessation counseling and LCS (CHW navigation).


Clinical Trial Description

This study is a randomized controlled trial (RCT) among 128 hospitalized smokers at BMC (64 participants in each of two arms), to assess the effect of inpatient SDM + CHW Navigation (AHRQ LDCT screening decision aid + CHW + SDM discussion + smoking cessation counseling) compared to Enhanced Usual Care (smoking cessation counseling + decision aid) on LDCT screening completion at 3 months, patient knowledge, and smoking cessation at 6 months.

The research will meet two specific aims (SA1 and SA2).

SA1: To address barriers to engaging smokers in prevention and early detection of lung cancer, a pilot RCT (Pilot Study 2) will be conducted in which screen-eligible hospitalized smokers will be randomized to receive inpatient sdm + CHW navigation (inpatient SDM during smoking cessation counseling visits + CHW navigation to coordinate outpatient tobacco treatment, referral to LCS, and resources to address negative social determinant of health that present barriers to these preventive services) or Enhanced usual care (furnishing of LDCT screening decision aid during inpatient smoking cessation counseling visits). Compared to Enhanced Usual Care, it is hypothesized that inpatient sdm + CHW navigation will increase the number of patients completing LCS (1° outcome) and LCS knowledge, and biochemically validated smoking cessation at 6 months (2° outcome).

SA2: To collect stakeholder input to inform future implementation, Fifteen primary care providers (PCPs) will be interviewed to assess their impressions of the intervention, integration into workflow, and barriers to adoption. Fifteen smokers who received the intervention will be interviewed to learn their impressions of its utility and suggestions for improvement. ;
