The purpose of this study is to evaluate an interactive game designed to increase people's ability to identify cancerous moles.

Whack-a-Mole: Testing an Intervention to Increase Melanoma Identification

Mole identification accuracy will be reported as the amount of mole correctly identified as either melanoma or typical nevi

Self-report measure of intentions to perform a skin self exam. Quantified using a single item indicator with scores ranging from 1-7 with higher scores indicating greater intentions to perform a skin self exam to detect potential melanomas.

Self-report measure of intentions to schedule an appointment with a dermatologist to receive a skin cancer exam. Quantified using a single item indicator with scores ranging from 1-7 with higher scores indicating greater intentions to schedule an appointment with a dermatologist.

Self-report measure of attitudes towards skin cancer exams. Quantified using the mean of the self report scale with scores ranging from 1-7 with higher scores indicating more positive attitudes towards skin self exams.

Self-report measure of beliefs towards skin cancer exams. Quantified using the mean of the self report scales for perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, perceived self-efficacy, and perceived response efficacy with scores ranging from 1-7 with higher scores indicating more strongly held beliefs about skin self exams.
