Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to examine how different messages about risk of melanoma can impact the way people protect themselves against developing these diseases.

Experimental: Intervention Group A Intervention Group A: Non-Hispanic White Population Post determination of MC1R Genotypes, participants randomized to the intervention group, will receive personalized information about ways that they can protect themselves and their child from developing melanoma. By the end of the study, all participants will have had the opportunity to receive information about their inherited risk. |
Behavioral: Personalized Information
Personalized information about ways that participants can protect themselves and their child from developing melanoma.
Other Names:
Other: DNA Extraction Determination of MC1R Genotypes
After signing informed consent, a biologic sample (saliva) will be collected for the purpose of DNA extraction determination of MC1R genotypes. All participants who carry high risk MC1R genotypes and a proportion of those who carry low risk or no MC1R variants will be randomized to the control or intervention arm.

Experimental: Intervention Group B Intervention Group B: Hispanic Population Post determination of MC1R Genotypes, participants randomized to the intervention group, will receive personalized information about ways that they can protect themselves and their child from developing melanoma. By the end of the study, all participants will have had the opportunity to receive information about their inherited risk. |

Placebo Comparator: Control Group A Control Group A: Non-Hispanic White Population Post determination of MC1R Genotypes, participants randomized to the control group, you will receive standard information about ways that they can protect themselves and their child from developing melanoma. By the end of the study, all participants will have had the opportunity to receive information about their inherited risk. Participants randomized into the control group, by the end of the study will also have had the opportunity to receive personalized information about ways they can protect themselves and their child from developing melanoma. |

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Sun and Protection Behaviors - Impact of Risk and Prevention Education - Non-Hispanic White Population [Up to 12 months]
Rate of self-reported, post education changes per study arm: 1.) decrease in sun exposure, 2.) increase in sun protection.
- Sun and Protection Behaviors - Impact of Risk and Prevention Education - Hispanic Population [Up to 9 months]
Rate of self-reported, post education changes per study arm: 1.) decrease in sun exposure, 2.) increase in sun protection
- Skin Awareness and Examination - Impact of Risk and Prevention Education - Hispanic Population [Up to 9 months]
Rate of self-reported, post education changes per study arm: Increase in skin examinations.
- Skin Awareness and Examination - Impact of Risk and Prevention Education - Non-Hispanic White Population [Up to 12 months]
Rate of self-reported, post education changes per study arm: Increase in skin examinations.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Impact of Receipt of MC1R Genotype on Sun Protection Behaviors in Children - Non-Hispanic White Population [Up to 12 months]

- Impact of Receipt of MC1R Genotype on Sun Protection Behaviors in Children - Hispanic Population [Up to 9 months]
Impact of receipt of MC1R genotype on sun protection behaviors in children of study participants. Self-reported post education decreased number of sunburns.
Eligibility Criteria
Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
CRITERIA FOR: NON-HISPANIC WHITE POPULATION
-
Investigators will recruit participants from the Family Medicine and General Internal Medicine clinics of the Morsani Center at the University of South Florida.

White, non-Hispanic patients who self-report a low phenotypic risk profile for development of melanoma and are able to read and speak English fluently.
-
18 years of age or older
-
Capable of giving informed consent
-
Potential participants will be screened for eligibility based on responses to questions about skin phenotypes, early detection behaviors and past history of melanoma.
