Summary
This study tests a program called FLARE that teaches families how to protect children from the sun. It includes children ages 8 to 17 who have a parent who survived melanoma and who have had at least one sunburn in the past year. Families are randomly assigned to either the FLARE program or standard education, and researchers track sunburns and sun protection habits over one year.
