What this trial studies

This observational study aims to understand how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected the health-related quality of life and psychological well-being of melanoma patients. It will assess various experiences during the pandemic, including psychological distress, healthcare disruptions, and social interactions. Participants will complete a 10-minute questionnaire that connects their COVID-19 experiences with prior lifestyle data collected in a previous protocol. The study also seeks to evaluate the role of resiliency factors, such as social support, in moderating these effects.
