Summary
This pilot study tests whether a community-based educational seminar can improve knowledge about melanoma and skin cancer. About 45 adults in Brooklyn will attend a session led by a community health worker and complete surveys over 12 months. The goal is to see if people learn more and start checking their own skin for changes.
