Outcomes
Primary Outcome Measures
Aggregated diagnostic concordance
Aggregated diagnostic concordance which is defined as the agreement of the in-person dermatologist's principle diagnosis with the teledermatologist's primary diagnosis or any of the differential diagnoses.
Secondary Outcome Measures
Primary diagnostic concordance
Diagnostic concordance between the in-person dermatologist and the teledermatologist for their primary diagnosis.
Categorical diagnostic concordance
Diagnostic concordance between the in-person dermatologist and teledermatologist based on standard clinical diagnostic categories for each lesion.
Management concordance
The concordance between the in-person dermatologist and teledermatologist for the chosen management plan for each lesion.
Sensitivity
The sensitivity of store-and-forward evaluation to detecting lesions that are either premalignant or malignant.
Specificity
The specificity of store-and-forward evaluation to detecting lesions that are either premalignant or malignant.

5. Study Description
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine the diagnostic and management concordance of face-to-face dermatologist versus a store-and-forward teledermatologist at a skin cancer screening event.
The investigators' hypotheses include the following:
Compared to in-person assessment, store-and-forward teledermatology assessment will result in adequate diagnostic concordance.
Compared to in-person assessment, store-and-forward teledermatology results in adequate management concordance.
The sensitivity and specificity of store-and-forward evaluation to detecting lesions that are either premalignant or malignant will be similar to that of in-person evaluation.
