Tailored Intervention for Melanoma Patient's Families

15 maj 2014 uppdaterad av: Fox Chase Cancer Center
The purpose of the investigators' study is to find the best way to provide information about sun protection and skin cancer detection. The investigators want to see which of two methods most improves sun protection and screening attitudes and practices. The investigators hope to improve these attitudes and practices among people who are at higher risk for melanoma. People at higher risk for melanoma are first degree relatives (mother, father, sibling or child) of people diagnosed with melanoma.

Övrig: 1
Group I
Övrig: Reading materials and discussions

We will send 3 sets of materials via mail, containing information about melanoma prevention and detection, 1 set each month for 3 months. Materials published by:

  • The American Cancer Society
  • The American Academy of Dermatology
  • The Skin Cancer Foundation

The pamphlets contain information about ways to reduce risk for skin cancer including:

  • Sun protection practices
  • Risk factors for melanoma
  • Information about what melanoma looks like
  • How to do skin self-examinations

There will also be a telephone discussion with a health educator, discussing melanoma and other information contained in the pamphlets.

Andra namn:
  • Beteende
  • Supportive Care Intervention
Övrig: Reading materials and discussions

We will send 3 separate pamphlets created specifically for participants. We will send 1 pamphlet each month for 3 months. The information in the pamphlets will be based on answers from the first survey. These pamphlets will contain information about:

  • Melanoma and skin cancer protection guidelines
  • The benefits of skin screening practices
  • Ways to protect yourself from the sun

In addition to these pamphlets, there will be a telephone discussion with a health educator to discuss melanoma and other information contained in the pamphlets.

Andra namn:

  • Supportive Care Intervention
Övrig: Questionnaires

Both groups will complete 3 surveys; at the beginning, 3 months later, 6 months after the second survey. Each survey will ask about:

  • knowledge of melanoma
  • current and past skin cancer screening practices
  • current and past sun protection practices
  • attitudes about skin cancer and sun protection
  • feelings about relative's melanoma diagnosis and treatment
