BACKGROUND: There have been no studies of the American Academy of Dermatology's SpotMe skin cancer screening program to collectively analyze and determine the factors associated with suspected basal cell carcinoma (BCC), squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), dysplastic nevus (DN), and cutaneous melanoma (CM) diagnoses. OBJECTIVE: Describe the demographics, risk factors, and access to care profiles associated with suspected diagnoses of BCC, SCC, DN, and CM among first-time SpotMe screenees during 2009-2010. METHODS: We conducted a cross-sectional analysis of data from the SpotMe skin cancer screenings conducted in 2009 and 2010. We performed multivariable logistic regression analysis for each diagnosis, incorporating standard demographic, access to care, and risk factor variables in the models. RESULTS: Men, those without a regular dermatologist, persons reporting recently changing moles, and those with a personal history of melanoma were at increased risk for each of the suspected diagnoses analyzed. Uninsured persons were at increased risk for suspected malignancies (BCC, SCC, and CM). LIMITATIONS: Lack of histologic confirmation for diagnoses and cross-sectional design. CONCLUSION: Among first-time SpotMe participants, suspected diagnoses of BCC, SCC, DN, and CM shared several associated factors, which may be considered when planning outreach and screening for populations at risk for skin cancer.
