Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary impact of text messaging to promote lung cancer screening.

Detailed description

We will conduct a two-arm pilot randomized controlled trial with 40 adults. Participants will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to either UR Screened (a text messaging program designed to promote lung cancer screening) or a control group (a mailed educational material along with a flyer for the lung cancer screening program). We will assess recruitment and follow-up rates, satisfaction with the program or educational material, and uptake of lung cancer screening at week 12. Additionally, we will compare screening rates between the intervention and control groups.
