Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The overall purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of the Family Lifestyles, Actions, and Risk Education (FLARE) intervention in improving melanoma preventive behaviors. Parent-child dyads, consisting of survivors of melanoma and their children, will be randomly assigned to either receive the FLARE intervention or standard education. Once enrolled, each parent-child dyad will participate in this study for just over 1 year. Both conditions will receive three bi-weekly live intervention sessions (30 minutes per session) with an interventionist, and quarterly boosters via text or email.
