Imbio is developing a Smoking Cessation Report (Report) that includes data analysis from a CT lung cancer screening exam. This randomized controlled (RCT) trial will clinically validate the Report's impact on: (a) Lung screening participants' motivation to make a quit attempt by calling a Quitline, and (b) the effectiveness of a 45-minute telephone smoking cessation counseling session for motivating an actual quit attempt and abstinence. The RCT will enroll approximately 400 randomly selected participants from lung screening programs at HealthPartners and University of Michigan. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of four conditions: 1) Usual Care + quitline phone number (created specifically for the trial and maintained for the length of the trial); 2) Usual Care + Report (Report will list Quitline number) 3) Usual Care + Counseling, or 4) Usual Care + Report + Counseling. Follow up assessment calls will be conducted with participants at three weeks, three months, and six months following the mailing of the report.

Research coordinators at the University of Michigan and HealthPartners will be provided access to the research version of LDA via an Imbio website. Following consent and lung screen, research coordinators will manually upload the study participants' images and download a resulting Report. Radiologists have been designated at both sites to review and approve the Report prior to mailing to participants. The Report will include information including the percent of damaged lung volume.

Report's Impact on Calling a Quitline Number
This outcome will be measured by whether the participant calls the Quitline number provided to them. \*\*\*Given logistical complexities, it was never the intention to measure this outcome on a participant level, but rather to compare the arms as different groups to see if there is a difference in the number of calls received for each groups Quitline number, which was automatically monitored. Unfortunately, it because apparent that the monitored Quitline numbers were subject to many robocalls and that data because too unreliable to be analyzed.
