Official title
A Pragmatic Randomized-Controlled Learning Health System Trial
Overview
To evaluate the real-world effectiveness and implementation strategies for mPATH-Lung, investigators propose a pragmatic, randomized controlled trial across an academic Learning Health System. The trial will contrast several approaches to participant outreach and will specifically target engaging fully powered cohorts of racial/ethnic minorities and rural residents.
Detailed description
Primary Objective: Evaluate the real-world effectiveness of mPATH-Lung in increasing lung cancer screening rates across diverse populations.
Secondary Objectives
* Compare the differential effectiveness of three outreach strategies for engaging participants with mPATH-Lung across vulnerable rural or ethnic/racial minority population subgroups. * Estimate the additional revenue generated by mPATH-Lung through increased screening and downstream care. * Evaluate the potential for over-screening and the impact of applying HEDIS-based exclusion criteria
Interventions
- Other Portal Message with Reminder Text Messages
If the participant has an upcoming scheduled appointment, they will receive a reminder text message 5 days after initial portal message, a final reminder text message a day before their scheduled appointment, and potentially an 'in progress' text message reminder if they start the mPATH-Lung program but do not complete it. If the participant does not have an upcoming scheduled appointment, they will receive a reminder text message 5 days after initial portal message, the final reminder message - Other Text Message with Reminder Text Messages
If the participant has an upcoming scheduled appointment, they will receive a reminder text message 5 days after initial message, a final reminder text message a day before their scheduled appointment, and potentially an 'in progress' text message reminder. If the participant does not have an upcoming scheduled appointment, they will receive a reminder text message 5 days after initial message, the final reminder message 8 days after the initial message, and potentially an 'in progress' text me - Other Portal message only
Participant will only receive portal message with no reminder text messages. - Other Usual Care
