Young Melanoma Family Facebook Intervention or Healthy Lifestyle Facebook Intervention in Improving Skin Examination in Participants With Melanoma and Their Families

Description

This trial studies how well Young Melanoma Family Facebook intervention or Healthy Lifestyle Facebook intervention works in improving skin examination in participants with melanoma and their families. Young Melanoma Family Facebook intervention or Healthy Lifestyle Facebook intervention may help improve total cutaneous examinations, skin self-examinations, and sun protection among first degree relatives of young onset participants and the participants themselves.

Conditions

Clinical Stage 0 Cutaneous Melanoma AJCC v8, Clinical Stage I Cutaneous Melanoma AJCC v8, Clinical Stage IA Cutaneous Melanoma AJCC v8, Clinical Stage IB Cutaneous Melanoma AJCC v8, Clinical Stage II Cutaneous Melanoma AJCC v8, Clinical Stage IIA Cutaneous Melanoma AJCC v8, Clinical Stage IIB Cutaneous Melanoma AJCC v8, Clinical Stage IIC Cutaneous Melanoma AJCC v8, Clinical Stage III Cutaneous Melanoma AJCC v8, First Degree Relative, Pathologic Stage 0 Cutaneous Melanoma AJCC v8, Pathologic Stage I Cutaneous Melanoma AJCC v8, Pathologic Stage IA Cutaneous Melanoma AJCC v8, Pathologic Stage IB Cutaneous Melanoma AJCC v8, Pathologic Stage II Cutaneous Melanoma AJCC v8, Pathologic Stage IIA Cutaneous Melanoma AJCC v8, Pathologic Stage IIB Cutaneous Melanoma AJCC v8, Pathologic Stage IIC Cutaneous Melanoma AJCC v8, Pathologic Stage III Cutaneous Melanoma AJCC v8, Pathologic Stage IIIA Cutaneous Melanoma AJCC v8, Pathologic Stage IIIB Cutaneous Melanoma AJCC v8, Pathologic Stage IIIC Cutaneous Melanoma AJCC v8
