First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests whether a statewide educational campaign in Oregon helps people spot melanoma earlier. Over 75,000 participants, including patients and healthcare providers, receive training and digital materials. Researchers compare Oregon's results with neighboring states that did not get the campaign. The goal is to see if education alone can reduce deaths from melanoma.
