Education for Prevention of Melanoma in Hispanic Populations

This clinical trial is to develop an educational platform to educate and prevent melanoma in Hispanic populations. Melanoma is cancer arising in the skin. Educational platforms to increase the knowledge and practice of sun smart behaviors (sunscreen use, sun protective clothing use, self-skin examination) may help reduce risk of and incidence of melanoma and improve cancer survival.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

Determine if the education platform leads to increase visits to their medical provider and increase diagnosis of skin cancers, particularly melanoma, in our population.
