Study Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of the investigators' study is to find the best way to provide information about sun protection and skin cancer detection. The investigators want to see which of two methods most improves sun protection and screening attitudes and practices. The investigators hope to improve these attitudes and practices among people who are at higher risk for melanoma. People at higher risk for melanoma are first degree relatives (mother, father, sibling or child) of people diagnosed with melanoma.
Detailed Description
Eligible patients will be contacted to find out whether they have any living first degree relatives that we may contact to discuss their participation in our study.
Eligible first degree relatives (FDRs) will participate in our study as outlined under Interventions.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Impact of generic print and phone counseling vs. tailored print and phone counseling interventions on the engagement in total cutaneous examination (TCE) and self-skin examination (SSE) among first degree relatives (FDRs) at increased risk for CMM.
Time Frame: approximately 9 months per participant
Secondary Outcomes
- Determine whether the interventions have an impact on attitudinal factors and whether these attitudinal factors mediate the expected association between the interventions and skin surveillance and sun exposure/protection.(approximately 9 months per participant)
