Integrating personalized skin cancer risk feedback into community health centers

Official title: A Hybrid Effectiveness-Implementation Trial to Integrate Precision Skin Cancer Risk Feedback in Federal Qualified Health Centers

Run by H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute · NCT07222995 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This project tests whether giving adult patients personalized skin cancer risk information based on genetics and recent sun behaviors increases use of sun-protection and prevention activities at Tampa Family Health Centers.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults (18+) who are patients at one of the six Tampa Family Health Centers, report recent sunburn or intentional/unintentional tanning in the past year, can provide informed consent, and are willing to complete questionnaires and provide a saliva sample are ideal candidates.

Probably not a fit

People under 18, those who report no tanning or sunburn in the past 12 months, or those unwilling/unable to complete the baseline assessment or provide a saliva sample are unlikely to benefit from this intervention.

What this trial studies

This hybrid effectiveness-implementation project compares a precision prevention booklet that incorporates MC1R genetic risk information to a standard prevention booklet among adult patients at six Tampa Family Health Centers. Participants complete a baseline questionnaire, provide a saliva sample for MC1R genotyping, and receive one of the two prevention booklets tailored by language (English or Spanish). The study measures uptake of skin cancer prevention behaviors and examines how different messages about risk affect those behaviors and the feasibility of delivering genetic risk feedback in a safety-net setting. Outcomes will inform whether integrating personalized genetic and behavioral risk information is acceptable and effective in federally qualified health centers.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, personalized MC1R risk feedback could encourage patients to adopt stronger sun-protection habits, potentially lowering future skin cancer risk.

How similar studies have gone: Previous work using personalized genetic risk messages, including MC1R-related melanoma risk, has produced modest behavior change in some studies but results are mixed and implementing this approach in federally qualified health centers is relatively novel.
