Summary

This is a pilot study of a community- based melanoma educational intervention in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn conducted in-person by a community-health worker employed by the Perlmutter Cancer Center. Sample size will be around 35 participants. The participants will complete a pre-study survey and then take part in the educational session. There will be follow up study visits to assess the impact of the intervention on participant knowledge and skin self-examination behaviors at 3 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months. At the 12-month mark, the participants will also complete a post-study survey.
