• Understand recommended technology-mediated services are which ones are being offered by state quitlines
• Gain ideas for effectively promoting technology-mediated services
• Learn about ways to evaluate whether technology-mediated services are equitably serving the community

Session One
This webinar will address the importance of lung cancer screening education and the role that quitlines can play in expanding the reach of this critical service and saving lives. Through the ProjectCONNECT implementation study that involved partnerships between the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, North American Quitline Consortium (NAQC) and state quitline funders and service providers, a variety of strategies were implemented to increase awareness of lung cancer screening and connect quitline participants to educational materials and screening services. This webinar will present the study approaches and findings from ProjectCONNECT and introduce the new Lung Cancer Screening Implementation Guide for Quitlines.

Lung cancer screening has the potential to save 12,000 lives annually in the U.S. However, the actual lives saved are much lower due to low rates of screening. This webinar is for all NAQC members, public health professionals, and anyone interested in the integration of lung cancer screening education through quitlines.  

Target audience: anyone with an interest in Lung Cancer Screening (LCS), and the integration of lung cancer screening education into routine quitline service delivery.  

Objectives: 

• Understand the value of integrating lung cancer screening (LCS) education into routine quitline intake and counseling. 
• Describe the methods used and resources available to increase lung cancer screening education for quitline participants.

Session Two
This workshop will feature the experience of state funders and quitline service providers that integrated lung cancer screening (LCS) education into their quitline operations as part of the ProjectConnect implementation research study. Presenters will provide insight into the real-world successes and lessons learned that informed the development of the Lung Cancer Screening Implementation Guide for Quitlines. This session will provide an orientation to the Guide and the options and steps necessary for integration of LCS education into quitline operations. Participants will have the opportunity to discuss their questions, concerns, and opportunities to offer LCS education through their quitlines. This session is limited to states and service providers who are considering taking the next steps to offer LCS education to quitline participants.   

Target Audiences: limited to state quitline funders and service providers interested in training on the Implementation Guide for Quitlines and lessons learned on integrating LCS education through quitlines.  

Objectives: 

• Describe the resources and steps needed to implement LCS education through quitlines
• Discuss the potential challenges and breakthroughs in implementing LCS education through the quitline.  
• Understand the resources available to assist with implementing lung cancer screening education through quitlines.

• Understand the value and opportunity of public private partnerships in sustaining quitlines and expanding reach
• Describe the steps in pursuing public private partnerships
• Discuss the potential challenges and breakthroughs experienced by states and service providers in pursuit of public private partnerships
