The purpose of the investigators' study is to find the best way to provide information about sun protection and skin cancer detection. The investigators want to see which of two methods most improves sun protection and screening attitudes and practices. The investigators hope to improve these attitudes and practices among people who are at higher risk for melanoma. People at higher risk for melanoma are first degree relatives (mother, father, sibling or child) of people diagnosed with melanoma.
Eligible patients will be contacted to find out whether they have any living first degree relatives that we may contact to discuss their participation in our study.
Eligible first degree relatives (FDRs) will participate in our study as outlined under Interventions.

| Reading materials and discussions | Other | We will send 3 sets of materials via mail, containing information about melanoma prevention and detection, 1 set each month for 3 months. Materials published by:
The pamphlets contain information about ways to reduce risk for skin cancer including:
There will also be a telephone discussion with a health educator, discussing melanoma and other information contained in the pamphlets. |

|---|---|---|
| Impact of generic print and phone counseling vs. tailored print and phone counseling interventions on the engagement in total cutaneous examination (TCE) and self-skin examination (SSE) among first degree relatives (FDRs) at increased risk for CMM. | approximately 9 months per participant |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Determine whether the interventions have an impact on attitudinal factors and whether these attitudinal factors mediate the expected association between the interventions and skin surveillance and sun exposure/protection. | approximately 9 months per participant |
