Data Display Integrating Phase I (QUAN) and Phase II (QUAL) Findings
Variable | Phase I: Summary Statistic | Phase II: Categories | Interpretation | Opportunities for Future Intervention/Training |
---|---|---|---|---|
Knowledge | 2.7 (1.4); range 0–7 | Lack of knowledge; Teachable moment for tobacco treatment | Self-awareness of low knowledge regarding lung cancer screening with potential to impact self-efficacy to engage in a shared discussion with a patient about lung cancer screening |

|
Practice Behaviors | 62.6% patients rarely or never ask about LCS Highly variable results for TTS discussing LCS with their patients (38.1% most or always discuss; 32.3% rarely or never discuss | (a) opportunity to advocate for screening as important for the patient’s lung health; and (b) never had a patient ask and never asked a patient. | Bidirectional avoidance of topic of lung screening |
