Promoting Early Detection of Melanoma During the Mammography Experience

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Melanoma (Skin Cancer)

In brief

The proposed study is a pilot and feasibility study designed to develop materials to enhance early detection of melanomas among women at risk to develop melanoma due to indoor tanning, having a family history of melanoma or a personal history of melanoma. The hypothesis of this study is that women, who are engaged in health promotion by having mammograms, will be able to assess the personal relevance of skin self-examination (SSE), be interested in learning about SSE and able to implement SSE while they are partially disrobed in the privacy of the changing room in the mammogram facility.
