Brief Summary

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

Skin cancer screening may help find melanoma sooner, when it may be easier to treat. If found early melanoma and other types of skin cancer may be curable. Multi-component education may be an effective method to help primary care physicians (PCPs) learn about skin cancer screening. This clinical trial examines whether a clinician-focused educational intervention can improve PCP's knowledge and clinical performance to identify and triage skin cancer. This intervention may increase the PCP's ability to diagnose, treat and/or triage early-stage melanoma.

Detailed Description

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

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

I. Evaluate whether a multi-component education strategy improves the ability of PCPs to identify and triage skin cancer.

OUTLINE:

Participants are assigned to 1 of 2 groups.

PCP participants complete group training. All training participants will also be offered series of short booster teaching points delivered virtually. Participants who complete the training also take part in pre-post knowledge assessments. PCP participants may also participate in a qualitative interview.

PCPs at the two clinics who do not receive the group training will serve as study comparators.
