This trial is testing whether a personalized coaching program called TELESCOPE helps current and former smokers make better decisions about lung cancer screening. If you qualify, you'll be assigned to either receive coaching from a nurse navigator who will help you understand screening and support you through it, or receive standard care. The study aims to understand whether this extra support leads more people to choose screening and follow through with tests.
Many current and former smokers are eligible for lung cancer screening but don't get it, often because they don't have enough information to make a decision they feel comfortable with. This trial tests whether having a trained nurse coach help you understand your options and guide you through the process can help more people choose screening and actually complete it.

If you join, you'll answer some questions before and one week after your regular clinic visit. If you're assigned to the coaching group, a nurse navigator will meet with you to discuss lung cancer screening, answer your questions, and help you decide what's right for you. If you're a current smoker, they'll also offer you help quitting smoking. Throughout the study, the team will support you with any screening tests you decide to have and help coordinate follow-up care if needed.
