mPATH-Lung
Usual care (CONTROL)
Participants randomized to the mPATH arm will complete a self-survey and a brief video decision aid, and then invites them to estimate their personal risks and benefits of screening by completing 8 survey items needed to calculate their predicted risk of developing lung cancer based on the validated Prostate, Lung, Colorectal and Ovarian Cancer Screening Trial Model 2012.
Participants randomized to the control arm will see an animated video about exercise for lung health based on recommendations from the European Lung Foundation. They will not be offered the opportunity to estimate their predicted benefits and harms of screening or to request a lung cancer screening visit.
