Educating Providers About Health Disparities in Lung Cancer Screening

We are conducting a randomized trial of two online, provider-facing education modules regarding lung cancer screening and smoking cessation. We will accrue 70 MedStar primary care providers (PCP). The baseline survey will incorporate items regarding lung cancer screening knowledge, providers' attitudes towards lung cancer screening, lung cancer screening ordering practices and provider characteristics. At the end of the baseline survey, PCPs will be randomly assigned to the LuCa + Health Disparities or LuCa only. PCPs will be asked to complete the intervention and the post-test within 1 week of randomization. The post test will cover knowledge of lung cancer screening, attitudes and opinions toward LCS. To assess PCP lung cancer screening ordering practices, we will review the MedConnect Electronic Health Record (EHR) to compare the two study groups post-randomization on the number of orders made for LCS.
