简要总结
The purpose of this study is to test the effects of messages communicating the risks (i.e., health harms, addictiveness) of indoor tanning delivered via mobile text messaging among young adult women ages 18 to 30 years who meet screening criteria for indoor tanning addiction.
详细描述
This is a two arm randomized controlled trial to test the effects of messages communicating the risks of indoor tanning delivered via mobile text messaging as a strategy for promoting cessation among young adult women who meet screening criteria for indoor tanning addiction. Eligible participants are young adult women ages 18 to 30 years who meet screening criteria for indoor tanning addiction and have access to the internet and a personal mobile phone to complete study procedures. Participants will complete baseline measures and then be randomized to the study arms. The text messaging intervention exposure in the intervention arm will last for four weeks. The control arm will be given basic indoor tanning education information and will not receive any intervention. Follow up assessments capturing study outcomes will be administered at 1 month (i.e., immediately post-intervention) and three months post-intervention.
