Maximizing Benefit of Lung Cancer Screening Incidental Findings of Cardiovascular, Respiratory and Breast Measures

December 4, 2024 updated by: Curtis Noonan, University of Montana
The investigators will implement a patient-centered outcomes tool for participants in lung cancer screening programs that receive clinically important incidental findings relevant to heart, breast and lung health. The study objective is to evaluate participant response and clinical follow-up following implementation of a patient-centered incidental findings communication tool.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

A computer assisted personal interview survey will be administered by study personnel to capture information about perceived risk, cues to action and self-efficacy among lung cancer screening participants. Participants eligible for recruitment will have had incidental findings from the low dose CT: moderate to severe CAC, grade 3 or 4 breast density, moderate to severe emphysema, or multiple incidental findings. The interview-administered survey will be conducted by telephone with responses entered by study personnel into a REDCap database. The REDCap questionnaire will be adapted to a given patient's IF status. The survey questions will be based on the Health Belief Model that has been used effectively in the context of secondary prevention. For each participant the survey will be conducted before and after system level implementation of a patient-centered incidental findings communication tool.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Precaution Adoption Process Model (PAPM) health behavior stage
Time Frame: 3 years
The PAPM is a theoretical, stages of change model that, in conjunction with the Health Belief model, has been used to guide the study of health behaviors, including to promote screening for health conditions. The PAPM outlines seven stages along a continuum toward health behavior change: (1) unaware of the health behavior, (2) aware but unengaged with the health behavior, (3) engaged and thinking about acting (deciding), (4) decided not to act, (5) decided to act (but not yet acting), (6) acting, and (7) maintenance of the health behavior. Using a questionnaire, we will capture the participants' stage of change before and after implementation of the incidental findings communication tool. The desired directionality of change is a higher stage with 7 being the maximum score and 1 being the minimum score.
