Study Summary
The proposed study is a continuation of a research program (STU00017005: Interventions to teach melanoma patients skin self-examination) designed to increase early detection of melanomas before they metastasize. In 2015, approximately 73,870 individuals in the U.S. will be diagnosed with invasive melanoma and about 9,940 will die from the disease. During 2002-2011, melanoma incidence increased at an average annual rate of 1.6% for men and 1.5% for women. People with a history of melanoma have a 10 times greater risk of developing a second primary melanoma relative to the general population. Early detection with surgical excision at an earlier stage when treatment is usually more effective is the only proven curative strategy. Relationship factors to help sustain skin self-examination will also be evaluated. The study has been amended to include an administrative supplement, which builds upon the pilot research completed during the summer of 2017 that measured the efficacy of two wearable UV sensors (Shade and Wearifi) and a survey assessing sun protection along with the quality of life. See Detailed Description for a description of amendment addition. This research was expanded to distance (remote) learning provided by mailing the same workbook used in the in-office training.
