This pilot study tested an 8-week intervention for smoking cessation after LCS. The participants (N = 40) were randomized to the intervention group (combination nicotine replacement therapy [NRT] plus gain-framed text messaging for 8 weeks) or the control group (standard cessation counseling) after LCS. Assessments were completed at 8-week and 3-month follow-ups, including self-reported 7-day point prevalence abstinence. The mean age was 64.4 years old (SD = 6.2); 32.5% were Black or African American; and 55% were female. At Week 8, 14.3% (3\/21) of the participants in the intervention group were abstinent versus 0% (0\/19) in the control group (p &gt; 0.05). At 3-month follow-up, 4.8% (1\/21) of the participants in the intervention group were abstinent versus 0% (0\/19) in the control group. Among the intervention group participants, up to 52.4% used the provided patches and up to 61.9% used the provided lozenges during the study period. This study demonstrated modest quit rates for LCS patients receiving gain-framed text messages and NRT. The results highlight the need for more effective smoking cessation interventions for this priority population.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph22040543","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,2]],"date-time":"2025-04-02T05:43:33Z","timestamp":1743572613000},"page":"543","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Gain-Framed Text Messages and Nicotine Replacement Therapy for Smoking Cessation Among Lung Cancer Screening Patients: A Brief Report of a Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"22","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7497-6247","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kinsey","family":"Pebley","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Public Health Sciences, Medical University of South Carolina, 135 Cannon St., Charleston, SC 29425, USA"},{"name":"Hollings Cancer Center, Medical University of South Carolina, 86 Jonathan Lucas St., Charleston, SC 29425, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Benjamin A.","family":"Toll","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Public Health Sciences, Medical University of South Carolina, 135 Cannon St., Charleston, SC 29425, USA"},{"name":"Hollings Cancer Center, Medical University of South Carolina, 86 Jonathan Lucas St., Charleston, SC 29425, USA"},{"name":"Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, Medical University of South Carolina, 67 President St., Charleston, SC 29425, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Matthew J.","family":"Carpenter","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hollings Cancer Center, Medical University of South Carolina, 86 Jonathan Lucas St., Charleston, SC 29425, USA"},{"name":"Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, Medical University of South Carolina, 67 President St., Charleston, SC 29425, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gerard","family":"Silvestri","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hollings Cancer Center, Medical University of South Carolina, 86 Jonathan Lucas St., Charleston, SC 29425, USA"},{"name":"Division of Pulmonary, Critical Care and Sleep Medicine, Medical University of South Carolina, 135 Rutledge Ave., Charleston, SC 29425, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1531-9287","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alana M.","family":"Rojewski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Public Health Sciences, Medical University of South Carolina, 135 Cannon St., Charleston, SC 29425, USA"},{"name":"Hollings Cancer Center, Medical University of South Carolina, 86 Jonathan Lucas St., Charleston, SC 29425, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"534","DOI":"10.1164\/rccm.201507-1420OC","article-title":"The association between smoking abstinence and mortality in the National Lung Screening Trial","volume":"193","author":"Tanner","year":"2016","journal-title":"Am.
