written advice (in leaflet form) was given to CRC patients to give to first degree relatives, or send to first degree relatives directly. this leaflet contained information about cancer risk and recommended screening methods.

verbal advice about cancer risk and screening methods was given to CRC patients to pass on to their first degree relatives

written advice

Thippawan saengnoi, Ph.D

CRC patients were enrolled and asked about their FDR contacts These FDRs were telephoned and enrolled and randomized to receive either written advice and verbal advice about their cancer risk and screening methods. These FDRs were telephoned after 2 weeks to evaluate their knowledge about CRC risk and method of screening to see which method of giving advice was better.

1. Colorectal cancer patients in a tertiary referral hospital who had first degree relatives in the screening range were enrolled into the study.
2. CRC patients and their FDRs were randomized after enrollment into written advice and verbal advice arms
3. CRC patients were asked to give the documents or verbal advice to FDR within 2 wks.
4. A telephone check was done to see if CRC patients had given or sent the advice their FDR.
5. FDR were telephoned to see if they received the document and assessed their knowledge of FDR risk, screening methods, previous screening and other knowledge about CRC.
6. FDRs were given information over the telephone about CRC risk and screening and then asked whether they wanted to have screening or not.

Interview

Susan Peterson, PhD

Primary Objectives:

* To conduct semi-structured interviews with melanoma patients and family members to collect descriptive information on their UVR exposure, UVR exposure-reduction practices, melanoma early detection practices, knowledge, psychosocial variables related to melanoma risk-reduction (e.g., self-efficacy, norms, and expectations), and experiences surrounding the diagnosis of melanoma in the family. Melanoma patients and family members with children will be asked about the UVR exposure and UVR exposure-reduction practices of their children, and parental practices to reduce UVR exposure among children.
* To develop behavioral and attitudinal questionnaires based on data collected during semi-structured interviews, and evaluate the appropriateness of these questionnaires using cognitive interviewing techniques.
* To develop tailored messages aimed at promoting strategies to reduce UVR exposure (e.g., wearing protective clothing, minimizing midday UVR exposure, minimizing duration of UVR exposure, using shade and sunscreen, avoiding sun lamps, and avoiding intentional tanning) and improving adherence to surveillance and screening guidelines. Messages will be developed to correspond to responses to questionnaire items.
* To assess tailored messages for their relevance, appropriateness, attractiveness and appeal, credibility, and perceived behavioral impact among melanoma patients and their family members.

Participants in Part 1 of the study will be asked to be interviewed about topics related to melanoma risk-reduction, including opinions, attitudes, beliefs, and practices related to ultraviolet radiation exposure, melanoma prevention, and melanoma detection.

Participants in Part 2 of the study will be asked to complete a written questionnaire on melanoma risk-reduction and then be interviewed to obtain feedback on how the questionnaire may be refined.

Participants in Part 3 of the study will be asked to be interviewed by telephone. Participants then will receive educational material in the form of a newsletter tailored to their interview responses. Participants then will be asked to be interviewed to obtain feedback for refining the educational material. In each part of the study, the patient/family member will receive a letter describing the study and the Consent Statement for Questionnaire and Interview Studies.

Prior to the start of the interview, the Consent Statement will be read to the patient/family member. Patients/family members may or may not choose to have the interview tape-recorded. Participants may stop the interview or questionnaire at any time and may refuse to answer any questions. At any time, the patient/family member may refuse to have the interview tape-recorded. There is no treatment associated with this study.

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.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To examine the efficacy of the Young Melanoma Family Facebook intervention versus the Healthy Lifestyle Facebook intervention on total cutaneous exam (primary outcome), skin self-exam frequency and comprehensiveness, and sun protection practices (secondary outcomes) of first degree relatives (FDRs) of young melanoma survivors.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To examine the efficacy of the Young Melanoma Family Facebook intervention on patients? skin self-exam frequency and comprehensiveness and sun protection habits.

II. To examine the mechanisms of intervention efficacy.

OUTLINE:

PHASE I: Researchers refine content for the Facebook intervention condition and conduct usability testing.

PHASE II: Participants are randomized to 1 of 2 arms.

ARM I: Participants join a secret Young Melanoma Family Facebook Group and view post messages focusing on skin cancer for 12 weeks.

ARM II: Participants join a secret Healthy Lifestyle Facebook Group and view post messages focusing on healthy lifestyle for 12 weeks.

PHASE III: Dissemination planning.

After completion of study, participants are followed up at 6 months.

Mediator analyses examining normative influences on the effects of intervention group on TCE, SSE and sun protection.

Mediator analyses examining family and peer support and discussion on the effects of intervention group on TCE, SSE and sun protection.

Mediator analyses examining risk on the effects of intervention group on TCE, SSE and sun protection.

Facebook engagement including likes, comments- collected at the end of the group

Social network use measured by self-reported frequency of use of popular social media sites

Skin self-exam of first degree relatives will be analyzed as a binary (yes/no) Response did participant complete one Yes/No

Skin self exam of first degree relatives count response will be calculated as frequency/month. Frequency per month reported as a number.

: Skin self-exam of first degree relatives comprehensiveness calculated as total # body parts examined during the skin self-exam

sun protection habits score of first degree relatives will be calculated as continuous variables using the Sun protection behaviors scale (Glanz, et. al., 2002) which measures 5 behaviors (regular outdoor use of: sunscreen, hat, shade, long-sleeved shirt, sunglasses).

Skin self-exam of patients count response calculated as (frequency/month). Frequency per month reported as a number
