About this study

Official title: Educating Providers About Health Disparities in Lung Cancer Screening

We are conducting a randomized trial to compare the Health Disparities module to an existing provider module on lung cancer screening to evaluate the impact on primary care providers' knowledge, attitudes, and lung cancer screening referrals of African American and White patients.

Read the detailed description

We are conducting a randomized trial of two online, provider-facing education modules regarding lung cancer screening and smoking cessation. We will accrue 70 MedStar primary care providers (PCP). The baseline survey will incorporate items regarding lung cancer screening knowledge, providers' attitudes towards lung cancer screening, lung cancer screening ordering practices and provider characteristics. At the end of the baseline survey, PCPs will be randomly assigned to the LuCa + Health Disparities or LuCa only. PCPs will be asked to complete the intervention and the post-test within 1 week of randomization. The post test will cover knowledge of lung cancer screening, attitudes and opinions toward LCS. To assess PCP lung cancer screening ordering practices, we will review the MedConnect Electronic Health Record (EHR) to compare the two study groups post-randomization on the number of orders made for LCS.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • LuCa + Health Disparity moduleBehavioural

    The Health Disparity course will review disparities in the burden of lung cancer across racial/ethnic groups, discuss differences in smoking patterns and use of evidence-based smoking cessation, and describe emerging disparities in lung cancer screening. The course will also offer resources for providers to address common barriers to screening among underserved/underrepresented groups, including insurance information, transportation options, procedure time, and patient navigation assistance.

    Lesson 1 of the LuCa online course addresses lung cancer screening and shared decision making.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing LuCa + Health Disparity module in people with Lung Cancer, run by Georgetown University at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Aug 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of providers with improved mean lung cancer screening knowledge score (time frame: 1 week). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05064046, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 5 Aug 2022.
