An Educational Intervention (Lung Toolkit) for Improving Knowledge About Lung Cancer and Screening Among American Indian and Alaskan Native Cigarette Smokers, Lung PATHS Trial
United States60 participantsStarted 2026-11-01
Plain-language summary
This clinical trial evaluates the acceptability and effectiveness of an educational intervention (Lung Toolkit) for improving knowledge about lung cancer and lung cancer screening among American Indian/Alaskan Native (AI/AN) cigarette smokers. The Lung Toolkit is an educational intervention, including a website and a physical artifact pouch, specifically tailored to the needs of AI/AN individuals. The website includes evidence-based resources about lung health and lung cancer screening, facts about commercial tobacco and traditional tobacco, national and local smoking cessation and screening resources, and community-building resources such as stories from AI/AN community members about their experiences with lung cancer screening and smoking cessation. The physical artifact pouch links to the website with a quick response code and contains ceremonial herbs and motivational messaging around smoking cessation and lung cancer screening. The Lung Toolkit intervention may be effective for improving knowledge about lung cancer and lung cancer screening among AI/AN cigarette smokers.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
