This study funded by the National Cancer Institute (K99/R00-CA-256351; PI: Williamson). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/621945ffcda74b5330b53726/4f3fe56f-bcbc-420e-a011-3c0da9518021/northfolk-Ok76F6yW2iA-unsplash.jpg Research - Developing a Short Form of the Lung Cancer Stigma Inventory (LCSI) This psychometric study uses social media targeted advertisement to recruit a national sample of patients diagnosed with lung cancer to complete validated questionnaires, including the 25-item LCSI. The primary goal of this study is to examine the psychometric properties of a shorter, 12-item version of the LCSI, which will reduce participant burden when completing the questionnaire. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/621945ffcda74b5330b53726/d2a51850-fb74-4338-8b66-cff10cf3e6c0/national-cancer-institute-J_993suZjc0-unsplash.jpg Research - Empathic Communication Skills Training to Reduce Lung Cancer Stigma This clinical trial tests the effectiveness of empathic communication skills training for oncology care providers to improve quality of care and reduce stigma experienced by patients diagnosed with lung cancer. This study is a collaboration with Drs. Smita Banerjee and Jamie Ostroff at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and is funded by the National Cancer Institute (R01-CA-255522; MPIs: Banerjee/Ostroff).
