NCT ID NCT07177638
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
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.

community-based educational seminar
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that simple community education boosts skin cancer awareness and self-check habits.
