Summary

The purpose of this study is to understand how people make decisions about sun protection. This study is important in helping to protect against sun exposure, since it is a main risk factor for melanoma. The investigators would like to understand the decisions people make about sun protection so that they can improve their ability to help individuals who may be at risk for melanoma.

Conditions

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

screening questionnaire

Phase I involves in-home interviews of 25 participants to understand the factors that affect participants' decision-making about UVR protection (sunscreen use, shade-seeking, hat use, use of protective clothing). In Phase II, we plan to recruit a sample of 60 melanoma first degree relatives (FDRs) and use an electronic narrative diary to record their daily behaviors about UVR protection. They will be asked to carry a interactive voice response (IVR) system for 14 days and they should be in the continental United States.
