Leveraging Social Media To Augment Public Health Education On Melanoma Within The Hispanic Population Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.
The purpose of this study is to develop online education video-based modules to educate the Hispanic community. This will allow for the widespread, cost-effective scaling of our educational platform. Also, to demonstrate improvement in knowledge and practice of sun-smart behaviors. We will achieve this goal through a baseline, three-month, and one-year follow-up questionnaire examining melanoma knowledge and sun-safe behaviors (sunscreen use, sun protective clothing use, self-skin examination). Understanding the risks of melanoma and actively reducing one's risk of melanoma will be key to reducing the incidence of melanoma and improving overall survival in this population.
