Abstract

Incidence and mortality rates for melanoma have been rising steadily during the 20th century. Primary prevention and early detection are the two major public health approaches now being considered or undertaken to decrease mortality. This article reviews both approaches, outlining the data and assumptions on which the approaches are based and giving examples of program development, delivery, and measurement of outcome.
