Miami–Dade County, the most populous of Florida's 67 counties, has more than 2.5 million residents. The socioeconomic status (SES) characteristics of this county include factors that may affect health care access and utilization, such as a diverse racial and ethnic population, a large indigent population, and large percentages of foreign-born individuals.2 We sought to determine if, within the county, differences exist in stage of melanoma diagnosis and if so, what factors influence those differences.
