Inclusion Criteria

Understand sufficient English; cognitive ability for consent; own a private mobile phone; Fitzpatrick skin type 1-3: no previous melanoma; individuals who do not use the SunSmart application on a regular basis. Drawing from our experience and previous studies, we estimate 85% of interested volunteers will fulfil these criteria. We will assess pigmentation and skin cancer history during screening using a questionnaire developed from our previous studies.

Exclusion Criteria

This trial has no exclusion criteria related to age, socio economic status, gender, or ethnicity. This means that individuals with characteristics associated with poorer outcomes (e.g., younger age, lower socio-economic status, and those living in rural areas) will be eligible to participate. Randomisation of participants, and presenting or providing material to a standard English level (ILR Level 3) will help to minimise any equity issues that may arise during the study.
