Family-Focused Behavioral Intervention in Improving Adherence to Melanoma Prevention in High-Risk Children

Trial Status: complete

This pilot clinical trial studies how well a family-focused behavioral intervention works in improving adherence to melanoma prevention in children with a family history of melanoma. Educating children and parents/caregivers together about ways to prevent melanoma and creating a family skin protection plan may help children learn new skills and strategies to practice melanoma preventive behaviors.
