About this study

In plain language

This study looks at the best ways to connect heavy smokers with information about lung cancer screening, which checks for lung cancer. It is for staff at quitlines, which help people stop smoking, and certain smokers or former smokers who call for help quitting.

This implementation study will examine the best ways to refer heavy smokers to information about lung cancer screening.

Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.
