Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Solo Learning
Participant learning alone (without partner).
Skin Self Examination Information and ABCDE Rule
Card with condensed information about skin self examination (SSE) and color illustrations of the ABCDE (asymmetry of shape, border irregularity, color variation, diameter \> or equal to 6 mm, and evolution of the lesion) rule. A research assistant gave a skill demonstration using a magnifying lens.
Dyadic Learning
Participant and partner learning together.
Skin Self Examination Information and ABCDE Rule
Card with condensed information about skin self examination (SSE) and color illustrations of the ABCDE (asymmetry of shape, border irregularity, color variation, diameter \> or equal to 6 mm, and evolution of the lesion) rule. A research assistant gave a skill demonstration using a magnifying lens.
