  • Descrição: Background  Regular thorough skin self‐examination (TSSE) has potential for detecting melanoma early and reducing melanoma mortality. Objectives  We sought to model factors associated with skin self‐examination (SSE) and test whether efficacy and attitudes about SSE mediated these relationships. Patients/Methods  The Check‐It‐Out project is a randomized trial of an intervention to encourage TSSE; 2126 participants were recruited from the practices of primary care physicians. Correlates predicting baseline TSSE included demographic variables, skin cancer risk, physician advice to examine skin, and appropriate conditions for conducting SSE (availability of partner to assist with self‐examination, availability of a wall mirror, and use of contact lenses/glasses). Results  Those who were given physician advice, had a wall mirror, and had a partner available were more likely to perform TSSE. Limitations  We identified the factors associated with concurrent TSSE practices. Further research is needed to determine if these same factors predict future behaviour. Our findings may not be applicable in geographical areas other than our recruitment area. Conclusions  Primary care providers can recommend SSE and provide materials to increase ability to recognize skin problems. Providing instructions and aids for conducting TSSE may increase self‐efficacy.
