Trial results from a study investigating real-time decision-making about ultraviolet radiation (UVR) protection in individuals at risk for melanoma were posted on ClinicalTrials.gov on 2026-01-07. The study enrolled a total of 94 participants.
Background
Melanoma is a serious form of skin cancer, and exposure to ultraviolet radiation (UVR) is a primary risk factor. Understanding how individuals make decisions about sun protection is crucial for developing effective strategies to prevent melanoma. This study aimed to explore these decision-making processes to better assist individuals who may be at risk.
Trial design
This completed study enrolled 94 participants, focusing on individuals at risk for Melanoma. The purpose was to understand the decisions people make about sun protection so that investigators can improve their ability to help individuals who may be at risk for melanoma.
Key results
The study collected several key measurements:
- Number of Participants Interviewed on UVR Protection Behaviors:
- For "Cohort 1: Phase I: 25 Melanoma FDRs", the count was 25 Participants.
- For "Phase II: 60 Melanoma FDRs", the count was 0 Participants.
- For "Cohort 1: Phase I: 25 Melanoma FDRs", the count was 0 Participants.
- For "Phase II: 60 Melanoma FDRs", the count was 59 Participants.
- To Examine Theory-driven Affective and Cognitive Predictors of UVR Protection Maintenance (Sunscreen Use, Shade-seeking, Hat Use, and Use of UVR Protective Clothing)Assessed in Real Time:
- For "Cohort 1: Phase I: 25 Melanoma FDRs", the count was 0 Participants.
- For "Phase II: 60 Melanoma FDRs", the count was 9 Participants.
- For "Cohort 1: Phase I: 25 Melanoma FDRs", the count was 0 Participants.
- For "Phase II: 60 Melanoma FDRs", the count was 21 Participants.
- For "Cohort 1: Phase I: 25 Melanoma FDRs", the count was 0 Participants.
- For "Phase II: 60 Melanoma FDRs", the count was 23 Participants.
- For "Cohort 1: Phase I: 25 Melanoma FDRs", the count was 0 Participants.
- For "Phase II: 60 Melanoma FDRs", the count was 10 Participants.
What this means
The results from this study provide specific counts regarding participant engagement in the assessment of UVR protection behaviors and their underlying predictors. For the outcome measuring the 'Number of Participants Interviewed on UVR Protection Behaviors,' the data indicates that 25 participants from Cohort 1 (Phase I) and 59 participants from Phase II were interviewed, alongside other entries showing 0 participants for both groups. Regarding the assessment of 'Theory-driven Affective and Cognitive Predictors of UVR Protection Maintenance,' the data shows that 9, 21, 23, and 10 participants from Phase II were assessed across different aspects, while Cohort 1 consistently showed 0 participants for these specific assessments. These counts contribute to understanding the scope and execution of the study's aim to explore sun protection decision-making among individuals at risk for melanoma.
