简要总结
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.
详细描述
If participant agrees to take part in this study, they will complete 3 questionnaires about sun protection, tanning behaviors, sunburns, and attitudes and opinions about sun exposure, sun protection, tanning behaviors and skin cancer.
Participant's school will be assigned to 1 of 2 possible groups:
- If participant's school is assigned to Group 1, they will have 2 photos taken of their face. One (1) photo is a standard photo (like the kind one may take with a regular camera). The other photo is taken with an ultraviolet (UV) filter and shows skin damage that cannot be seen in a standard photo.
- If participant's school is assigned to Group 2, they will not have any photos taken.
If participant is in Group 1, they and a member of the study staff will compare the standard and UV photographs together. The study staff will discuss any skin damage seen with participant. A member of the study staff will record on a paper form any visible reactions participant may have to viewing their UV photograph. Participant will also be given a handout that discusses skin cancer prevention, sun protection, and how to avoid tanning beds. Participant will see their photos on a computer screen. Participant will not be given their photos. At the end of this study, the photos will be deleted.
If participant is in Group 2, they will only receive a handout that discusses skin cancer prevention, sun protection, and how to avoid tanning beds.
