• Study Type: interventional

Brief Summary

This trial studies how well a health educational campaign works in increasing early detection of melanoma in Oregon. The health educational campaign may provide information to help people learn about the early signs of melanoma. Increased education in Oregon may decrease the number of people who die from melanoma and increase the number of melanomas that are identified at an earlier stage.

Conditions

Melanoma

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

• Statewide awareness (level of knowledge and detection)

  Will compare the level of knowledge and early detection of melanoma between participants in Oregon who received the educational campaign and those who did not in Washington and Utah.

  Up to completion of surveys, assessed up to 5 years

• Cancer data collection (correlation with demographic and geographic factors)

  Will collect baseline and post-intervention data from Oregon State Cancer Registry (OSCaR) on melanoma diagnoses to correlate the incidence and pathologic factors with demographic and geographic factors.

  Up to 5 years

• Cost data

  Will compare reports of cost data between those who received the health education campaign and those who did not.

  Up to 5 years

• Reach of educational campaign

  Will determine the reach of the educational campaign across Oregon using volunteer activity logs, volunteer training logs, and website usage analysis.

  Up to completion of surveys, assessed up to 5 years

Prevention (health educational campaign)

EXPERIMENTAL

MEDIA CAMPAIGN: Participants view digital media strategies. PRIMARY CARE PROVIDERS AND PROFESSIONALS: Primary care providers and professionals who see skin and potential melanomas receive online based curriculum on melanoma. Participants also complete a survey to assess knowledge and confidence before and after receiving the curriculum. MELANOMA COMMUNITY REGISTRY VOLUNTEERS: Melanoma Community Registry volunteers in Oregon receive educational and training materials on melanoma. Participants also complete a survey before and after receiving educational material. HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS: High school students receive an educational lecture over 1 hour on sun-safety and early detection of melanoma practices. Participants also complete a survey before and after the educational lecture.
