First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Apr 28, 2026 · Updated 29 times
Summary
This study looks at whether a private Facebook group can help young adults (ages 18-39) diagnosed with early-stage melanoma and their close family members do more thorough skin checks and protect themselves from the sun. About 1,160 participants will join either a melanoma-focused Facebook group or a general healthy lifestyle group. The goal is to see if the melanoma group leads to more doctor skin exams and self-exams, helping catch new cancers early.
