NCT02426853

Brief Summary

The goal of this research study is to learn how students react to seeing a photograph of any skin damage they may have on their face. This skin damage may be caused by sun exposure or use of tanning beds. Researchers also want to learn about students' sun protection, tanning behaviors, and attitudes towards sun exposure, sun protection, tanning behaviors and skin cancer. Researchers will use the results of this study to design programs for students about sun protection and tanning avoidance.
