Study Arms (2)
LuCa + Health Disparity module
EXPERIMENTALParticipants will be asked to complete the Health Disparities module that is an interactive CME/CE online course which offers 0.5 continuing education credit hours. The will also be asked to complete the LuCa course.
LuCa only module
ACTIVE COMPARATORLuCa is a free interactive CME/CE online course entitled, "Lung Cancer and the Primary Care Provider". For the purpose of this study, participants will be asked to complete session 1 which offers 1.0 continuing education credit hours, including AMA PRA Category 1 credits, AANP, and AAFP Prescribed credits.
Interventions
The Health Disparity course will review disparities in the burden of lung cancer across racial/ethnic groups, discuss differences in smoking patterns and use of evidence-based smoking cessation, and describe emerging disparities in lung cancer screening. The course will also offer resources for providers to address common barriers to screening among underserved/underrepresented groups, including insurance information, transportation options, procedure time, and patient navigation assistance. Lesson 1 of the LuCa online course addresses lung cancer screening and shared decision making.
