Overview
Brief Summary
The primary objective of this study is to assess the effect of the decision aid on measures of decision-making such as knowledge, screening attitudes, decisional conflict, and screening intent.
Detailed Description
Using a single group, pre-post design, we aim to assess the effect of the decision aid on screening knowledge, screening attitudes, decisional conflict, and screening intent within 3 months of decision aid viewing.

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- •Subjects must meet all of the following inclusion criteria to participate in this study:
- •Age 55 - 80;
- •Current smoker, or former smoker who has less than a 16-year quit history;
- •Have at least a 30-pack year smoking history (average packs per day \* years smoking); and
- •Patient of the Internal Medicine Clinic at University of North Carolina Health Care.
Exclusion Criteria
- •All subjects meeting any of the following exclusion criteria at baseline will be excluded from study participation:

- •Undergone chemotherapy or radiation therapy in the past 18 months prior to enrollment;
- •Coughed up blood from lungs (also called hemoptysis) within the past year prior to enrollment;

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Change in screening intentions
Time Frame: At time of intervention
We will use descriptive statistics to provide an overview of screening intentions at baseline and at follow-up. • Exploratory: Using t-tests or chi-squared tests as appropriate, we will assess the change between baseline and follow-up of screening intentions.
Change in decision-making measures of knowledge
Time Frame: At time of intervention
We will use descriptive statistics to provide an overview of knowledge at baseline and at follow-up. * Hypothesis 1: Screening specific knowledge will improve after completing the decision aid. o Statistical tests: * Overall knowledge: Treating knowledge as a continuous variable by adding number correct out of 12 items (0-12 possible points), we will perform a Wilcoxon sign rank test to assess change in knowledge between baseline and follow-up * Individual knowledge items: Using McNemar's test, we will compare the proportion who correctly answered individual knowledge items at baseline and follow-up
Change in screening attitudes
Time Frame: At time of intervention
We will use descriptive statistics to provide an overview of screening attitudes at baseline and at follow-up. • Exploratory: Using t-tests or chi-squared tests as appropriate, we will assess the change between baseline and follow-up of screening attitudes.
Change in decisional conflict
Time Frame: At time of intervention
We will use descriptive statistics to provide an overview of decisional conflict at baseline and at follow-up. • Exploratory: Using t-tests or chi-squared tests as appropriate, we will assess the change between baseline and follow-up of decisional conflict.
Secondary Outcomes
- Preliminary estimates on the effect of the decision aid on behavioral outcomes(Within 3 months of intervention)
- Feasibility of implementing a decision aid intervention in a primary care clinic setting(Through study completion, an average of 1 year)
