SUMMARY
This study aims to broaden the reach of the lung cancer screening (LCS) CONNECT program (NCT04149249, NCT06213532), by developing a version of the program to be available to multilingual communities. The CONNECT program encourages individuals who are undergoing lung cancer screening to also quit smoking by providing a personalized program which includes a video doctor with personalized responses, text message and telephone call support and connection with a pharmacist to assist in obtaining nicotine replacement medication. This clinical trial will develop and ultimately test how well the CONNECT Multilingual (CONNECT ML) program works to improve smoking cessation among current adult smokers within the Spanish and Cantonese speaking communities.
