Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to test if our Community Health Worker program can help at-risk NYC Chinese community members participate in shared decision making and lung cancer screening (if appropriate) and compare it to the help provided by written materials.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The study first used qualitative methods to inform the adaptation of a CHW model to facilitate lung cancer screening completion in an extremely high-risk group, NYC Chinese livery drivers who smoke or who quit within the past 15 years. A series of focus groups with Chinese livery drivers who smoke, a series of in-depth interviews with livery base management and staff, primary care physicians (PCPs), clinic directors, hospital CFOs, heads of financial services and counseling, and heads of radiology facilities serving the Chinese community were conducted to explore barriers and factors related to cancer screening. Findings were used to develop adapted intervention materials, including a CHW Manual for Facilitating Shared Decision Making and Lung Cancer Screening. Once adaptation is complete, the researchers will conduct a pre-pilot to refine the adapted CHW intervention materials. The researchers will then conduct a pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT) to assess the feasibility of the refined CHW model (intervention) versus written materials (control) to facilitate SDM and LCS (when appropriate) in an extremely high-risk group, NYC Chinese livery drivers eligible (by USPTSF criteria) for LCS. Feasibility results will be used to inform the planning and design of large scale RCTs, targeting Chinese drivers, as well as other driver populations in NYC and throughout the U.S., and other high risk Chinese smoking populations in other occupations (e.g. restaurant work, construction). The study is currently in the pre-pilot phase and expects to launch the pilot phase by the summer of 2020. Due to the effects of the COVID-19 crisis, the researchers have extended the pre-pilot participation time frame to 12 months. The study population has also indicated concern to attend doctor's appointments for SDM/LCS during COVID-19. As such, MSK is extending the study time frame to an additional 6 months. . CHWs will also be hosting health education workshops at community organizations, family associations, and public libraries. These workshops will be conducted in English, Mandarin, and Cantonese and cover topics including smoking cessation and lung cancer screening.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Pilot RCT Control Group

Eligible NYC Chinese livery drivers will receive written materials only

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Surveys

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Intake surveys recorded demographics, workplace profile, financial profile, health care access, cancer screening behavior, medical history, etc.

Exit surveys asked whether drivers received shared decision making (SDM) counseling, completed LCS (low-dose computed tomography \[LDCT\] scan), had barriers, felt satisfied, etc.

Pilot RCT CHW Intervention Group

Eligible NYC Chinese livery drivers will receive written materials and navigation for shared decision making (SDM) and lung cancer screening (LCS).

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Surveys

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Intake surveys recorded demographics, workplace profile, financial profile, health care access, cancer screening behavior, medical history, etc.

Exit surveys asked whether drivers received shared decision making (SDM) counseling, completed LCS (low-dose computed tomography \[LDCT\] scan), had barriers, felt satisfied, etc.

Navigation

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

CHWs facilitated SDM and LCS for drivers, providing navigation ( finding a PCP, scheduling appointments, assisting with insurance, etc.), following up on results and next steps.

Focus Group

The investigators conducted a series of 4-6 focus groups with Chinese livery drivers who (currently, or in the past) smoke.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Focus groups

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Gained drivers' perspectives on adapting the community health worker (CHW) model to facilitate lung cancer screening (LCS).

In-Depth Interview Group

12-15 in-depth interviews with livery base management and staff, and with 12-15 primary care physicians (PCPs), clinic directors, hospital CFOs, heads of financial services and counseling, and heads of radiology facilities serving the Chinese community.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

In-depth interviews

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Interviews with Chinese livery bases elicited perspectives on adapting the CWH model for the drivers' occupational environment.

Interviews with PCPs, clinic directors, etc. serving Chinese communities provided insight into adapting the CHW model within the health care context.

Pre-pilot Group

Approximately 10 Chinese livery drivers who smoke or who quit smoking with the past 15 years and have a 30 pack-year history of smoking

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Surveys

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Intake surveys recorded demographics, workplace profile, financial profile, health care access, cancer screening behavior, medical history, etc.

Exit surveys asked whether drivers received shared decision making (SDM) counseling, completed LCS (low-dose computed tomography \[LDCT\] scan), had barriers, felt satisfied, etc.

Navigation

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

CHWs facilitated SDM and LCS for drivers, providing navigation ( finding a PCP, scheduling appointments, assisting with insurance, etc.), following up on results and next steps.
