UV Dosimetry Feedback in NMSC Patients

Not Applicable

Withdrawn

• Conditions: Non-Melanoma Skin Cancer
• Interventions: Behavioral: UV Counseling

• Registration Number: NCT03757663
• Lead Sponsor: University of Colorado, Denver

Brief Summary

This study aims to characterize UV exposures among NMSC patients (those with a history of skin cancer) and to pilot an innovative behavioral intervention to decrease modifiable UV exposures. It will use UV dosimeters to objectively measure UV exposure and provide time and activity specific UV data on an individual level. These data will be used to develop a targeted and personalized behavioral feedback plan with counseling aimed at effective sun exposure behavior change

Detailed Description

The study will focus on helping to prevent NMSC and its associated morbidity through learning when patients are unintentionally exposed to extreme UV radiation. It will then help to create manageable and realistic behavioral interventions to reduce exposure, while also educating patients of the dangers of abundant sun exposure.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
UV Dosimeter	UV Counseling	UV Dosimeter will measure participants' UV exposure for two separate 3-week periods.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Identify Discrepancies of Self-Reported Sun Exposure and Actual Sun Exposure	Start of study to end of study, up to 3 months	Compare specific sun exposure behaviors responsible for the level of exposure versus what could be done to lessen it

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Behavioral Intervention and immediate follow-up	Start of study to end of study, up to 3 months	Participants will receive a personalized feedback plan and the success of the plan will be measured through individual dosimetry. We will track real time change in sun exposure based on repeat UV dosimetry.
Long Term Follow Up - longitudinal change in sun exposure based on dosimetry	Start of study to end of study, up to 3 months	Track the longitudinal change in sun exposure comparing baseline UV dosimetry measurements to 3 month follow up dosimetry measurements to determine if the changes observed in outcome 3 are maintained.
