TELEhealth Shared decision-making Coaching for lung cancer screening in Primary care (TELESCOPE)
PI: Anita Kinney, PhD, Richard Hoffman, Robert Volk
Funding Source: National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, R01HL158850

Study Description: This randomized controlled trial will evaluate whether a telemedicine decision coaching and navigation intervention (TELESCOPE) delivered by nurse navigators compared to enhanced usual care (EUC) will improve the quality of patient decision making and increase adherence with lung cancer screening and diagnostic testing. It will also compare TELESCOPE vs. EUC in referrals for smoking cessation.

Individualizing Treatment for Asthma in Primary Care (iTREAT)
PI: Wilson Pace, MD and David Mauger, PhD
Rutgers subcontract PI: Lawrence Kleinman, MD, MPH
Funding Source: Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI)

Study Description: This 4-arm study will compare the effectiveness of 2 different treatments, alone and in combination, versus control in the treatment of asthma. The treatments are inhaled corticosteroids (as part of maintenance and rescue therapy) and long-term (>6 months) azithromycin. Participants will come from primary care practices across the U.S.

Optimizing Colorectal Cancer Screening among Patients with Diabetes in Safety-Net Primary Care Settings: Targeting Implementation Approaches
PI: Denalee O’Malley, PhD
Funding Source: National Cancer Institute, K99CA256043-01/R00

Study Description: Patients with diabetes diagnosed with colorectal cancer are at high risk for excess morbidity and mortality and are disproportionately Non-Hispanic Black and Hispanic. Federally qualified health centers, who primarily serve priority populations, struggle to implement and sustain colorectal cancer screening. This study proposes to identify and overcome multi-level factors affecting optimal use of CRC preventive screening options for patients with elevated medical and social risks throughout the U.S.

Adapting and implementing evidence-based breast cancer follow-up
PIs: Shawna Hudson, PhD & Benjamin Crabtree, PhD
Funding Source: National Cancer Institute, R01CA257197

Study Description: Using a blended implementation/primary care practice change conceptual framework, this project aims to: (1) engage diverse primary care stakeholders in identifying actionable, practice-based activities for provision of long-term breast cancer survivorship care in primary care using depth interviews; (2) prioritize, synthesize, and identify actionable activities for providing care to long-term cancer survivors in primary care by engaging key stakeholders using modified online Delphi methods and concept mapping; and (3) implement and evaluate actionable breast cancer survivorship symptom and risk management activities using a hybrid type 1 effectiveness-implementation cluster study design with waitlist control in 26 primary care practices.
