Compared with non-Hispanic whites, Hispanics are more likely to be diagnosed as having melanoma at an earlier age, with thicker, more advanced lesions, and they are more likely to die from their disease.1 Physician skin examination (PSE) may reduce the incidence of thick melanomas that have a poor prognosis.2 Few studies have examined the rate of PSE among US Hispanic adults. In the present study, we examine the prevalence and correlates of PSE among US Hispanic adults in a nationally representative sample.
