简要总结
The primary aim is to determine the impact of using digital photographs on a mobile device versus printed photographs on skin self-examination rates. The ease-of-use and overall satisfaction with the two exam modalities will be evaluated. Secondarily, the impact on melanoma thickness at detection, melanoma detection, biopsy, and office visit rates will be evaluated. The study involves patients in the Pigmented Lesion Clinic that have received total body photography for skin monitoring.

结局指标
主要结局
Skin self-examination rates
时间窗: 6 months
Evaluate if printed photographs alone versus skin self-examinations supplemented with digital photos on a mobile device, or digital photos with reminders, social support networks, or both, lead to improved self-examination rates. This outcome is assessed by survey, before and after the intervention.
