Targeted Melanoma Detection With Skin Self-examination: Leveraging the Mammogram Encounter
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating SSE educational intervention and Active control:Healthy Living for Melanoma. Completed, enrolled 1,000 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to reduce melanoma mortality by improving early detection of melanoma with skin self-examination (SSE) among people who self-identify as being at risk and seek care for a concerning mole. Because women are more likely than men to perform SSE, women who are engaged in health promotion by having a recent screening mammogram are the focus of this research. Self-management of melanoma detection with SSE depends on ready access to dermatologists when a concerning mole is detected. In March 2020, the Illinois stay at home order (COVID-19) prohibited non-essential health care, including screening mammography and dermatology office-based care, and both are expected to remain limited until fall 2020. This submission explores a) the effectiveness of targeted melanoma detection (TMD) among women, who identify their risk of having a melanoma, learn to perform SSE, and perform SSE, and b) the effectiveness of adhesive patch-based home sample collection for genomic analysis to rule out melanoma in moles identified by women (who received the intervention) as concerning will be explored.

Timeline
Interventions
Women participants receive a SSE brochure and three monthly reminders to perform SSE. In the second month, women select goals for SSE.
Women participants receive a Healthy Living brochure and three monthly reminders to perform the following activities of healthy living: get quality sleep, walk briskly for 30 min, eat 5 servings of fruits and vegetables a day. In the second month, women select goals for healthy living.
