Lung cancer screening (LCS) with low-dose computed tomography decreases lung cancer mortality among older persons who smoke heavily and are healthy enough to undergo definitive therapy for early-stage lung cancer.Analysis of the Veteran Affairs (VA) Central Cancer Registry indicates that lung cancer is the second most commonly diagnosed cancer among men and women in both VA and general US populations.Patient decision aids (PDAs) for LCS in both veteran and general populations have improved decision quality in before-and-after single-group study designs.The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of a web-based patient- and clinician-facing LCS PDA compared with an attention control intervention on the quality of decision-making and uptake of LCS. We developed an LCS decision tool (LCSDecTool) for use by veterans eligible for LCS and enrolled in primary care at a VA Medical Center.
