The purpose of this study was to identify current smokers' communication format preferences for receiving smoking cessation information in a lung cancer screening setting. A cross-sectional correlational design using survey methodology with 159 screening-eligible current smokers was the method used. Data was dichotomized (digital versus traditional preference) and analyzed using Pearson's chi-squared test, Mann-Whitney U test, and logistic regression. Race was a statistically significant predictor with White participants having four times greater odds of reporting preference for a digital format for receiving smoking cessation information such as social media and/or supportive text messages (OR: 4.06; p = 0.004). Lung cancer screening is a new venue where current long-term smokers can be offered information about smoking cessation while they are engaging in a health-promoting behavior and potentially more likely to contemplate quitting. It is important to consider the communication format preference of current smokers to support cessation uptake. This study is the first to examine communication format preference of current smokers in the context of the lung cancer screening venue. Key differences noted by race support the need for further research examining multiple formats of communication with efforts to maximize options in the cancer screening setting.
本研究的目的是确定当前吸烟者在肺癌筛查环境中接收戒烟信息时对沟通形式的偏好。采用的方法是对159名符合筛查条件的当前吸烟者进行横断面相关设计，并使用调查方法。数据被二分法分类（数字形式与传统形式偏好），并使用Pearson卡方检验、Mann-Whitney U检验和逻辑回归进行分析。种族是一个具有统计学意义的预测因素，白人参与者报告偏好数字形式（如社交媒体和/或支持性短信）接收戒烟信息的几率高出四倍（比值比：4.06；p = 0.004）。肺癌筛查是一个新的场所，在此可以为当前的长期吸烟者提供戒烟信息，此时他们正在参与促进健康的行为，并且可能更有可能考虑戒烟。考虑当前吸烟者的沟通形式偏好以支持戒烟接受度很重要。本研究是首次在肺癌筛查场所的背景下研究当前吸烟者的沟通形式偏好。种族方面的关键差异支持了进一步研究的必要性，即研究多种沟通形式，并努力在癌症筛查环境中最大化选择。
