NCT05634252

Brief Summary

The proposed study is a Multiphase Optimization Strategy (MOST) that uses factorial experiments to evaluate individual and combined effects of intervention components to improve intervention efficiency. The study team anticipates enrolling a total of 528 undergraduate students (\>18 years) into the trial to identify intervention approaches that eliminate sunburn, and secondarily to motivate sun protection and discourage tanning. The study team will test personalized risk components: 1) UV Photo, 2) Action Plan, and 3) MC1R Testing. A full factorial experiment will be conducted to test which of the proposed components or their combinations eliminate sunburn over one year. The study team will also examine effects of the intervention on secondary outcomes. Study assessments will be completed at 4 time points: baseline, 1-month post-intervention, 4-months post-intervention, and 15-months post-intervention.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Change in Sunburn Occurrence

    Participants will report on the number of sunburns they experienced using an item from the Sun Habits Survey: "In the past month, how many times did you have a red or painful sunburn that lasted a day or more?"

    Baseline, 1-month post-intervention, 3-months post-intervention, 15-months post-intervention

Secondary Outcomes (4)

  • Change in Sun Protection Behaviors

    Baseline, 1-month post-intervention, 3-months post-intervention, 15-months post-intervention

  • Change in Intentional Tanning Behaviors

    Baseline, 1-month post-intervention, 3-months post-intervention, 15-months post-intervention

  • Change in Unintentional Tanning Behaviors

    Baseline, 1-month post-intervention, 3-months post-intervention, 15-months post-intervention

  • Change in UVR Exposure

Education + Action Plan + UV Photo + MC1R Test

EXPERIMENTAL

Students in this intervention will receive education on skin cancer and prevention strategies, complete an individualized sun protection and tanning worksheet for situations in which they receive UVR exposure, receive a printout of a photo of their face in visible light and UV light from the VISIA Complexion Analysis system, and provide a saliva sample using an Oragene® clinical-grade saliva kit and receive individualized results following MC1R sequencing.

EducationBEHAVIORAL

All conditions will receive education on skin cancer and strategies to prevention skin cancer, including sun protection strategies and avoidance of intentional and unintentional tanning.

Action PlanBEHAVIORAL

Participants will be guided through a worksheet for creating a personalized action plan for creating individualized sun protection and tanning plans for situations in which they receive UVR exposure. For the tanning worksheet, participants who report any tanning identify the locations at or activities during which they tan, select a tanning behavior to plan for, and then are guided through the steps of making a specific plan for an alternate activity that meets their goals while minimizing tanning and using sun protection.

UV PhotoBEHAVIORAL

Participants will receive a printout of a photo of their face in visible light and UV light from the VISIA Complexion Analysis system. Participants will receive a handout of their photos accompanied by an explanation of UV light, its harmful effects on skin, and that using sun safe behaviors early in life will have the greatest impact and help to decrease risk for skin cancer.

Participants will provide a saliva sample using an Oragene® clinical-grade saliva kit. Once sequenced, participants will receive their MC1R testing results via web as well as a standardized booklet that addresses personal risk level and population risk level, strategies to reduce skin cancer risk, and number to call or email for further information.
