An interventional study of LuCa + Health Disparity module in Lung Cancer, sponsored by Georgetown University. Completed at 1 site in United States. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2022-08-05.
Sponsored by Georgetown University · Not applicable, Interventional, and 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.
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.

Exclusion Criteria:
Participants will be asked to complete the Health Disparities module that is an interactive CME/CE online course which offers 0.5 continuing education credit hours. The will also be asked to complete the LuCa course.
Behavioral: LuCa + Health Disparity module
LuCa is a free interactive CME/CE online course entitled, "Lung Cancer and the Primary Care Provider". For the purpose of this study, participants will be asked to complete session 1 which offers 1.0 continuing education credit hours, including AMA PRA Category 1 credits, AANP, and AAFP Prescribed credits.
Behavioral: LuCa + Health Disparity module
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.
