The MyLungHealth study protocol: a pragmatic patient-randomised controlled trial to evaluate a patient-centred, electronic health record-integrated intervention to enhance lung cancer screening in primary care.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Early lung cancer screening (LCS) through low-dose CT (LDCT) is crucial but underused due to various barriers, including incomplete or inaccurate patient smoking data in the electronic health record and limited time for shared decision-making. The objective of this trial is to investigate a patient-centred intervention, MyLungHealth, delivered through the patient portal. The intervention is designed to improve LCS rates through increased identification of eligible patients and informed decision-making.

Methods and analysis

MyLungHealth is a multisite pragmatic trial, involving University of Utah Health and New York University Langone Health primary care clinics. The MyLungHealth intervention was developed using a user-centred design process, informed by patient
