MySmartSkin Online Skin Self-exam Intervention for Melanoma Survivors

This study is testing an improved online tool called MySmartSkin (MSS) to help melanoma survivors check their skin for new or returning melanoma. It compares the enhanced MySmartSkin tool to a standard educational webpage about skin self-exams. The goal is to see which approach is more effective in helping people perform thorough skin self-exams and if it reduces new melanomas. You might be able to join if you've had melanoma (stages 0-III), are 18 or older, and haven't been checking your whole body for melanoma regularly. The study will measure how well participants examine their body parts at the start, and then again at 3 and 6 months.

Study design
This is a longitudinal randomized controlled trial (RCT) with 385 planned participants. It compares the enhanced MySmartSkin tool to an educational webpage.
What's involved

Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Participants will be followed for at least 6 months, with body parts examined measured at baseline, 3 months, and 6 months.

Diagnosis of primary pathologic stage 0-III cutaneous malignant melanoma
Three months to five years post-surgery
No current evidence of cancer
Not adherent to thorough SSE (i.e., did not check entire body at least once during the past three months)
≥ 18 years old
Internet access
Able to speak/read English
Able to provide informed consent

Exclusion

Children
  • Body parts examinedBaseline

    Yes/No for a list of body parts examined during most recent SSE in the last three months. This is the primary outcome because SSE thoroughness is associated with detection of thinner tumors. This will be assessed by Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, and Maintenance(RE-AIM) and Practical, Robust Implementation and Sustainability Model (PRISM).

  • Body parts examined3 months

    Yes/No for a list of body parts examined during most recent SSE in the last three months. This is the primary outcome because SSE thoroughness is associated with detection of thinner tumors. This will be assessed by Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, and Maintenance(RE-AIM) and Practical, Robust Implementation and Sustainability Model (PRISM).

  • Body parts examined6 months

    Yes/No for a list of body parts examined during most recent SSE in the last three months. This is the primary outcome because SSE thoroughness is associated with detection of thinner tumors. This will be assessed by Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, and Maintenance(RE-AIM) and Practical, Robust Implementation and Sustainability Model (PRISM).

  • Body parts examined12 months

    Yes/No for a list of body parts examined during most recent SSE in the last three months. This is the primary outcome because SSE thoroughness is associated with detection of thinner tumors. This will be assessed by Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, and Maintenance(RE-AIM) and Practical, Robust Implementation and Sustainability Model (PRISM).

  • Body parts examined18 months

    Yes/No for a list of body parts examined during most recent SSE in the last three months. This is the primary outcome because SSE thoroughness is associated with detection of thinner tumors. This will be assessed by Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, and Maintenance(RE-AIM) and Practical, Robust Implementation and Sustainability Model (PRISM).
