Family Lifestyles, Actions, and Risk Education Intervention: Version 2

Study Purpose

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.

Recruitment Criteria

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms

Yes
Study Type

An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes.


An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.


Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.

Trial Details

Trial ID:

This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries.

NCT04201223
Phase

Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans.

Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data.

Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs.

Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.

Additional Details

Enrollment. After parent-child dyads complete screening and informed consent/assent procedures, participants will be invited to complete an online baseline assessment. Following the baseline assessment, dyads will be randomized to receive either the FLARE intervention or standard education. After randomization, each dyad will receive a unique log-in to a secure study website that will be used to review didactic materials prior to each intervention session. Intervention Sessions. Dyads will meet with an interventionist via remotely-delivered live session for their three intervention sessions. Intervention sessions will be scheduled every two weeks. After completion of the last remotely-delivered session, all parents will receive quarterly booster messages via text or email. Study Assessments. Dyads will be asked to complete online assessments after consent is given (baseline) and within the 4 days prior to Session 3. A first post-intervention assessment will occur 4 weeks after the last intervention session is held. A second post-intervention assessment will occur 4 weeks later. The long-term follow-up assessment will take place 1-year post-baseline. Each assessment is expected to take 15-30 minutes. Parents will also receive a brief assessment via text or email (depending on parent preference) at monthly intervals between the second post-assessment and the 1-year post-baseline assessment, and in the summer months immediately following the 1-year post-baseline assessment. All assessments will be completed electronically.
