Interventions

  • Skin cancer prevention educational presentation and activities — BEHAVIORAL
    An intervention visit, lasting up to 90 minutes, will take place during fall, immediately following completion of a baseline survey. This intervention visit may be divided into 2 days, depending on the length of the class periods at the participating schools. During the intervention visit, participants will receive general education on skin cancer and skin cancer prevention, complete a skin cancer risk self-assessment tool, and create a sun protection action plan for an outdoor activity. One month later, participants will receive a brief (15-minute) post-intervention survey via email and/or text.

Study Details

Drawing from prior school-based skin cancer prevention programs, we have adapted intervention materials to target rural high schoolers. Program components (including in-class education) will be co-implemented by the research team and participating school staff, with a focus on sustainability beyond the immediate study period. Interviews and surveys following initial implementation will evaluate both the effectiveness of the program.
