Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This trial studies how well Young Melanoma Family Facebook intervention or Healthy Lifestyle Facebook intervention works in improving skin examination in participants with melanoma and their families. Young Melanoma Family Facebook intervention or Healthy Lifestyle Facebook intervention may help improve total cutaneous examinations, skin self-examinations, and sun protection among first degree relatives of young onset participants and the participants themselves.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To examine the efficacy of the Young Melanoma Family Facebook intervention versus the Healthy Lifestyle Facebook intervention on total cutaneous exam (primary outcome), skin self-exam frequency and comprehensiveness, and sun protection practices (secondary outcomes) of first degree relatives (FDRs) of young melanoma survivors.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To examine the efficacy of the Young Melanoma Family Facebook intervention on patients? skin self-exam frequency and comprehensiveness and sun protection habits.

II. To examine the mechanisms of intervention efficacy.

OUTLINE:

PHASE I: Researchers refine content for the Facebook intervention condition and conduct usability testing.

PHASE II: Participants are randomized to 1 of 2 arms.

ARM I: Participants join a secret Young Melanoma Family Facebook Group and view post messages focusing on skin cancer for 12 weeks.

ARM II: Participants join a secret Healthy Lifestyle Facebook Group and view post messages focusing on healthy lifestyle for 12 weeks.

PHASE III: Dissemination planning.

After completion of study, participants are followed up at 6 months.
