Educating Smokers About Lung Cancer Screening Using Tobacco Quitlines

Content from communications (email, phone, monthly calls)

Will be content analyzed using Atlas.ti qualitative software according to the adaptation framework from Stirman and colleagues. Will identify 1) who made the modification; 2) what was modified (i.e., content, context, training and evaluation); 3) for whom the modification was made (e.g., individual counselor); 4) context of the modification (e.g., format, setting, personnel, population); and 5) what was the nature of the modification (e.g., adding elements). Will also code for facilitators and barriers that are consistent with the constructs from CFIR. All textual data will be double coded and discussed by the researchers.

Time frame: Up to 4 years

Healthcare sector perspective

As needed, will use a process-flow analysis to identify all resources utilized at each of the step of the program.

Time frame: Up to 4 years

Reach

The analysis of the data from the logs and surveys will include examining the means, medians, standard deviations, and ranges overall and by state quitline for Reach

Time frame: During 6 month implementation period

Overall lung cancer screening rate

Time frame: Up to 6 months

Effectiveness (Caller Substudy)

Will be successful if callers who participate in the evaluation answer at least 58 percent (7/12) of the Adapted lung cancer screening (LCS)-12 Knowledge Measure questions correctly and have a PrepDM score of at least 80 (standard deviation \[SD\] = 17.7), which were observed in the original project.

Time frame: Up to 6 months
