Trial Outcomes & Findings for Skin Care Behaviors Among Melanoma Survivors and Their Families (NCT NCT02457065)
NCT ID: NCT02457065
Last Updated: 2018-12-19
Results Overview
Subjects filled out a survey when they enrolled in the study assessing their skin cancer prevention behaviors. Survey questions asked the patient and a family member of theirs to comment on patient and familial sun exposure and cancer screening activity before and after the patient's diagnosis with primary melanoma. Subjects self-reported if the diagnosis changed their behavior.
COMPLETED
NA
54 participants
Collected via a survey administered immediately after a subject enrolled in the study.

Participant Flow
Survivors of primary cutaneous melanoma less than 4.0 mm in depth who came through the Dermatology Clinic at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center and voluntarily chose to participate in the study after being informed of the nature of the research.
All enrolled participants were assigned to arms/groups. None were excluded from the study.

PRIMARY outcome
Timeframe: 6-12 months between time of completion of first survey and second survey.Population: Survivors of primary cutaneous melanoma less than 4.0 mm in depth who came through the Dermatology Clinic at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, voluntarily chose to participate in the study after being informed of the nature of the research, and then completed the follow up survey 6-12 months after their initial enrollment.
Subjects filled out a survey when they enrolled in the study assessing their skin cancer prevention behaviors. The investigators randomly gave some subjects a "Melanoma Survivor" plaque. After 6-12 months, the subjects again filled out a survey assessing their skin cancer prevention behaviors. The investigators analyzed the difference in each subject's responses to the same survey questions over time. The investigators then analyzed the difference between the responses of the subjects who saw the plaque and the subjects who did not see the plaque to discern the influence of the plaque on skin cancer prevention behaviors. Survey questions asked the patient and a family member of theirs to comment on patient and familial sun exposure and cancer screening activity. Subjects self-reported if the their behavior changed over time.
