Screener:

Hello, my name is ___________________ and I work for [Local Clinical Site]. I am working on behalf of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in collaboration with a research organization called RTI Intentional, to conduct interviews with people living with lung cancer. The purpose of these interviews is to understand experiences during diagnosis and treatment, as well as to hear about the everyday challenges of living with lung cancer. The findings from this study will help CDC develop programs that address the needs of individuals with lung cancer.

I believe that a member of your care team informed you about participating in this study and asked you if it would be okay for us to contact you. We are conducting 1-hour telephone interviews with people living with lung cancer and you would receive $50. We also request that you let us tape record the interview and to allow a representative from CDC to listen to the interview. However, your name or any other identifying information would not be included on or be a part of any reports developed from these interviews.

1. Do you have any questions about the study? ___________________________________________
