Background
For patients at high risk for lung cancer, screening using low‐dose computed tomography (lung cancer screening [LCS]) is recommended. The purpose of this study was to examine whether screening may serve as a teachable moment for smoking‐related outcomes.
Methods
In a smoking‐cessation trial, participants (N = 843) completed 2 phone interviews before randomization: before LCS (T0) and...
Background
In 2021, the US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) expanded the eligibility criteria for low‐dose computed tomographic lung cancer screening (LCS) to reduce racial disparities that resulted from the 2013 USPSTF criteria. The annual LCS rate has risen slowly since the 2013 USPSTF screening recommendations. Using the 2019 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS), this study...
Incorporating effective smoking cessation interventions into lung cancer screening (LCS) programs will be essential to realizing the full benefit of screening. We conducted a pilot randomized trial to determine the feasibility and efficacy of a telephone-counseling (TC) smoking cessation intervention vs. usual care (UC) in the LCS setting. In collaboration with 3 geographically diverse LCS programs,...
Lung cancer screening may serve as a ‘teachable moment’ for smoking cessation, a brief period in which motivation to stop smoking is enhanced. Within the context of two NCI-funded randomized lung screening trials, we conducted an ancillary study to explore the impact of screening on smoking cessation and readiness to stop smoking.We accrued a sample of current and former smokers participating at the...
