Optimizing Tobacco Treatment for Smokers Seeking Lung Cancer Screening

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This project will develop and refine an optimized tobacco treatment intervention, tailored specifically for implementation within the context of lung cancer screening. The multi-level (patient- and site-) mixed- methods, evaluation plan and partnership with a heterogeneous mix of lung cancer screening sites will also provide critical data about scalable implementation parameters. It will accelerate scientific discovery and dissemination of cost-effective strategies for integrating tobacco treatment into lung cancer screening settings thereby reducing tobacco-related cancer morbidity and mortality.
