Healthy Skin for Everyone: The effectiveness of a community-based skin cancer education program in an underserved population

"Healthy Skin for Everyone," or "Piel Saludable Para Todos," is a community-based initiative to address the rising rates of skin cancer in minority populations that is coupled with poor mortality rates and lack of evidence-based interventions. In our study, community health workers from a large nonprofit, free clinic were trained to lead 45-minute interactive educational workshops followed by participant enrollment in a 12-week text-messaging program. Spanish-speaking adults over the age of 18 regardless of educational level were included.
