Background. A pilot study of an intervention using nurse education for skin self‐examination (SSE) was conducted in order to determine specific factors that would be important for the design of a larger intervention.Methods. Seventy‐five subjects completed a pretest, a posttest, a thorough skin examination by a dermatologist, and an educational session by a nurse.Results. Results showed that the subjects increased the frequency of SSE to a predetermined optimal frequency of once every one to two months. Increases in optimal SSE were associated with increases in knowledge about melanoma (p= 0.006).Conclusions. Before intensive campaigns are launched to improve SSE, models incorporating theories of behavioral change should be tested.
