Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Primary Outcome: Safety and feasibility of mobile teledermoscopy for Queensland residents 50-64 years of age at high risk for melanoma. A follow-up survey after their SSE to assess (1) whether they found any suspicious lesions, (2) comfort level with the procedures, smartphone and dermatoscope, (3) satisfaction with the Asymmetry and Colour (AC) Rule and materials provided, (4) mobile teledermoscopy acceptance, self-efficacy and skin cancer worry.[One month after all participants have completed their SSE.]

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Assess the findings within the context of an existing technology acceptance model, and whether the technology acceptance model explains the intentions of people to use teledermoscopy in the future as well as their actual behaviour[One month after all participants have completed their SSE.]
