简要总结
The goal of this pilot clinical trial is to learn if a digital intervention to improve sun safety, Sun Safe Together (SST), is feasible and acceptable to teenagers and their parents.
详细描述
Melanoma is a leading cause of invasive cancer in teens and young adults aged 15-39. Most skin cancers are preventable with skin protection such as minimizing UVR exposure and wearing protective clothing and sunscreen. However, teens have low levels of sun protection. Thus, interventions targeting skin cancer risk reduction among teens are needed. The proposed Sun Safe Together (SST) intervention is a 12-week program consisting of sun safety and general health messages sent via multimedia messaging service (MMS) to teens and via a private Facebook group for parents.
This pilot trial is a single arm test of SST to determine:
- feasibility of enrolling parent-teen dyads
- engagement with/acceptability of the intervention via message views and acceptability ratings
- outcome data collection feasibility (i.e., daily diary, UVR exposure measured by UVR dosimeter)
- retention rates for teens and parents at 3 and 6 months

结局指标
主要结局
Feasibility of recruitment
时间窗: Baseline
Feasibility of recruitment will be assessed by the proportion of eligible parent-teen dyads that enroll in the study
Acceptability of MMS intervention
时间窗: Immediately after the intervention
Items were adapted from the Acceptability of Intervention and Feasibility of Intervention Measures to obtain participant feedback about the acceptability, feasibility, ease of use, and impact of the intervention. Individual items are rated on a 5-point likert scale from (1) Completely Disagree to (5) Completely Agree. Higher scores indicated greater acceptability.
Engagement with MMS intervention
时间窗: 3-months
Proportion of messages viewed will be calculated to describe engagement.
Feasibility of Outcome Data Collection - 7-Day Diaries
时间窗: Baseline, 3-months, 6-months
Proportion of teens who complete 7-day diaries will be calculated.
Feasibility of Outcome Data Collection - UVR Dosimeter
时间窗: Baseline, 6 months
Proportion of teens who return UVR dosimeter with usable data will be calculated.
Retention
时间窗: 3-months, 6-months
Proportion of enrolled teens who complete surveys at 3- and 6-months will be calculated.
