Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
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.
