Abstract

Although cutaneous melanoma diagnoses are rising, morbidity and mortality can be reduced through early detection. This investigation seeks to improve melanoma identification accuracy, attitudes, and intentions among a lay population by comparing the effectiveness of different melanoma identification training strategies and the effect of real-time decisional feedback on a melanoma identification task. We developed an innovative, game-based approach and hypothesize differences among frequently used melanoma identification training modalities (i.e, the Asymmetry/Border/Color/Diameter [ABCD] rule, the Ugly Duckling Rule [UDS], and a modality that combines them both, ABCDF (where the F stands for ‘funny looking”), and investigate differences in types of immediate feedback on a melanoma identification task.
