Trial Outcomes & Findings for Melanoma Perception and Health Literacy in People of Color (NCT NCT02437305)

NCT ID: NCT02437305

Last Updated: 2017-01-27

Results Overview

The subject will complete 3 questionnaires: one pre-intervention, one immediately post-intervention and one 2 months post-intervention. 5 questions will assess whether or not the patient has completed skin-self examinations and knows which areas of the skin to pay attention to. The pre-intervention and 2 month post-intervention questionnaire will be evaluated to determine the number of participants that performed regular self-skin examinations.

ABCDEs of Melanoma Skin Cancer
A modified melanoma educational intervention that uses the "ABCDEs of Melanoma" pamphlet from the Skin Cancer Foundation but also incorporates the nomenclature "melanoma skin cancer"; indicates that melanoma is relevant for everyone regardless of race and ethnicity; includes images of melanoma on ethnic skin; informs people of the likelihood of melanoma developing in acral, subungual and mucosal surfaces; and provides guidance on self-skin examinations.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 2 months post-intervention

The subject will complete 3 questionnaires: one pre-intervention, one post-intervention, and one 2 months post-intervention. Several questions will assess the participants knowledge of general melanoma, what it looks like and what are its risk factors. To determine participant retention, the pre-intervention and 2 month post-intervention questionnaires will be evaluated.
