A Targeted, Family-Focused Intervention for Melanoma Prevention


Research is to learn about awareness, attitudes, and behaviors related to sun exposure, sun
protection, skin examination, and other risk-reducing behaviors. The results of this study
will be used to design an educational program on sun protection for persons who have had
melanoma and their children.

The study will involve a telephone interview that will last about 45 minutes and will be
scheduled at your convenience. Your participation in this study is completely voluntary and
you may refuse to participate. Your decision about participating will not affect the care or
services you or your family may receive at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer
Center.
