Melanoma Risk Assessment & Tailored Intervention (PennSCAPE)
Melanoma Risk Assessment and Skin Cancer Awareness, Prevention, and Education in a Primary Care Setting
調査の概要
詳細な説明
This study aims to evaluate the impact of a mailed, tailored intervention, on the skin cancer prevention and skin self-examination behaviors of high-risk and moderate-risk adults. Participants will be recruited in primary health care setting (Penn Radnor Clinic) after their scheduled appointment. During Phase I of this study, patients will be screened for their level of risk for skin cancer. They will be asked to complete a survey as well as undergo a quick skin exam administered by the research staff. Moderate- and high-risk persons will be invited to enroll in Phase II of the study, and will then complete a baseline survey either in person, over the phone, or via mail after they have consented. After completing a baseline survey, these participants will be randomized to receive tailored materials, including personalized risk feedback, or to a control group that will receive generic educational materials. Participants will then be re-assessed at follow-up approximately three (3) months later via a mailed survey.
The intervention consists of one to three sets of intervention materials, depending on if they are randomized to the generic group or the tailored group. The first mailing will be sent out approximately two weeks after a participant completes the baseline survey, and is designed to educate participants on ways to prevent skin cancer though personalized behavioral changes. The second mailing will be sent out two weeks after the first mailing, and is designed to provide a guide to participants on steps to complete a skin self exam. Finally, the third mailing will be sent out two weeks after the second mailing, and will provide medical information to the participants regarding types of skin cancer along with tips to remember that encompass information from previous mailings.
Finally, the participant will complete a follow-up survey approximately one (1) month after the last mailing has been mailed.

Phase I: Patients are screened for their level of risk for skin cancer. They will complete a survey and undergo a skin exam administered by the research staff. Moderate- and high-risk persons will be invited to enroll in Phase II. Phase II: Three sets of materials will be sent in the mail over the course of 6 weeks. Pamphlets will contain information about ways to reduce participant's risk of skin cancer, including sun protection practices, benefits of skin screening practices, and how to do skin self-examinations. The participant will also complete two surveys for this study, one at baseline and then one at follow up approximately three months later. Each survey will ask the participant about:

他の：Tailored Intervention
We will mail three separate pamphlets created specifically for the participant.
The information in the pamphlets will be based on answers from the first survey.

Compare the effects of offering tailored print materials to that of generic print materials on perceived risk of melanoma, sun avoidance/protection, and skin self-examination behaviors.
時間枠：3-6 months total per participant

In Phase II of this study, we will conduct a randomized trial to compare the effects of a tailored intervention to a standard intervention of brochures with risk communication, skin cancer prevention, and skin cancer detection information.
Outcomes are sun protection, sun exposure, frequency of sunburns, and skin examinations.
Subjects in Phase II will be adults at moderate and high risk for skin cancer based on the scores they received from the risk assessment in Phase I.
