MySmartSkin Online Skin Self-exam Intervention for Melanoma Survivors

Study Purpose

This project, mySmartSkin (MSS), includes an innovative Type 1 hybrid effectiveness-implementation trial designed to enhance the effects of MSS and simultaneously assess key implementation outcomes (e.g., cost, adoption) as well as contextual factors important for scale-up in community and health care settings where melanoma survivors receive follow-up care. A type 1 hybrid effectiveness-implementation design allows us to engage multilevel stakeholders throughout this process, evaluate the effectiveness of the enhanced MSS, and identify critical factors for wide-scale implementation. Aim 1 will focus on enhancing the previous version of MSS by collaborating with multi-level stakeholders in qualitative interviews and usability testing. Aim 2 will evaluate the effects of enhanced MSS on thorough skin-self examinations (SSE) in a randomized-control trial (RCT) and examine its impact on the diagnosis of new/recurrent melanomas. Aim 3 will focus on assessing selected implementation outcomes and identify factors relevant to future scale-up for widespread dissemination and implementation.

Recruitment Criteria

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

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

No
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.

NCT05373823
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

This is a type one hybrid effectiveness-implementation study consisting of three aims. Aim one (Months 1-15) focuses on MSS enhancement using stakeholder collaboration. Aim two (Months 16-60) involves the longitudinal randomized control trial (RCT) comparing behavioral outcomes and effectiveness of enhanced MSS versus an educational webpage. Aim three (Months 16-60) will assess implementation outcomes and identify contextual factors to facilitate scale-up for future dissemination and implementation.
