Study Objectives:

To evaluate the effect of the ECS training on OCP primary outcomes (communication and empathic skill uptake) and secondary outcomes (ECS training appraisal relevance, novelty, clarity; self-efficacy, empathy, compassion burn-out); to evaluate the effect of the ECS training vs. WLC on patients reported primary outcomes (lung cancer stigma), and secondary outcomes (perceived clinician empathy, satisfaction with communication, psychological distress, patients experience of clinical encounter, and overall patient satisfaction). Additionally, acceptance of referral to tobacco cessation (for those currently smoking) will be explored; and to examine potential moderators of OCP (e.g., demographic characteristics, professional role characteristics) and patient outcomes (e.g., demographic characteristics, illness characteristics).
