Participants in the text messaging intervention arm receive mobile text messages communicating the risks of indoor tanning and motivating cessation on their mobile phones
Participants in the control arm receive no intervention
Participants in the intervention arm will receive text messages to their mobile phones designed to communicate the risks of indoor tanning and motivate cessation. The intervention exposure lasts for 4 weeks with messages sent 2 days each week. It is an interactive intervention that engages participants by asking them to respond to prompts, and sending indoor tanning message content in return on message days.
