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 assess the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary impact of text messaging to promote lung cancer screening.

Detailed Description

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

We will conduct a two-arm pilot randomized controlled trial with 40 adults. Participants will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to either UR Screened (a text messaging program designed to promote lung cancer screening) or a control group (a mailed educational material along with a flyer for the lung cancer screening program). We will assess recruitment and follow-up rates, satisfaction with the program or educational material, and uptake of lung cancer screening at week 12. Additionally, we will compare screening rates between the intervention and control groups.
