Detailed 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.

Interventions
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.
