Trial Outcomes & Findings for Enhancing Skin Cancer Early Detection and Treatment in Primary Care (NCT NCT05675709)
NCT ID: NCT05675709
Last Updated: 2025-12-08
Results Overview
KnChange in melanoma risk, knowledge based upon survey questions prior to training and post-training. Content covered melanoma risk, knowledge of electronic health record tools specific to the training and lesion identification and biopsy procedure knowledge. A total score of correct responses for the 27 items was generated and transformed to represent the percent of correct items with zero being no correct items and 100% being all items correct. A change score from pre-training to post-training was generated where a positive change score represented the gain in knowledge in percent points and a negative change score representing a lower percent of correct responses from pre-training to post-training.

Participant Flow
Forty-five clinicians (physicians, PAs, and NPs) received an email inviting them to participate in the MelaNOma training. Seventeen participated in the training. A total of 37 clinicians who weren't invited or chose not to participate in the MelaNOma training session were assigned to the comparator group. The total study sample size is 54.

PRIMARY outcome
Timeframe: Immediately before and after the training sessionPopulation: Knowledge was assessed before and after the training session for those clinicians who attended the training. We conducted a paired t-test
KnChange in melanoma risk, knowledge based upon survey questions prior to training and post-training. Content covered melanoma risk, knowledge of electronic health record tools specific to the training and lesion identification and biopsy procedure knowledge. A total score of correct responses for the 27 items was generated and transformed to represent the percent of correct items with zero being no correct items and 100% being all items correct. A change score from pre-training to post-training was generated where a positive change score represented the gain in knowledge in percent points and a negative change score representing a lower percent of correct responses from pre-training to post-training.
