MySmartSkin Online Skin Self-exam Intervention for Melanoma Survivors
Sponsor: Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey
Summary
This project, mySmartSkin (MSS), includes an innovative Type 1 hybrid effectiveness-implementation trial designed to enhance the effects of MSS and simultaneously assess key implementation outcomes (e.g., cost, adoption) as well as contextual factors important for scale-up in community and health care settings where melanoma survivors receive follow-up care. A type 1 hybrid effectiveness-implementation design allows us to engage multilevel stakeholders throughout this process, evaluate the effectiveness of the enhanced MSS, and identify critical factors for wide-scale implementation. Aim 1 will focus on enhancing the previous version of MSS by collaborating with multi-level stakeholders in qualitative interviews and usability testing. Aim 2 will evaluate the effects of enhanced MSS on thorough skin-self examinations (SSE) in a randomized-control trial (RCT) and examine its impact on the diagnosis of new/recurrent melanomas. Aim 3 will focus on assessing selected implementation outcomes and identify factors relevant to future scale-up for widespread dissemination and implementation.
