Clinical Trial Summary

This randomized clinical trial studies how well social-media intervention works in reducing tanning in high-risk indoor and outdoor tanners. Social-media intervention delivered via Facebook may help to promote healthy behaviors, positive body image, and to understand young women's perception of a social media campaign.


Description:

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To conduct a randomized control trial to examine the efficacy of the intervention versus (vs.) a Facebook-delivered control group on reducing tanning behavior among high-risk indoor and outdoor tanners. OUTLINE: Participants are randomized to 1 of 2 groups. GROUP I: Participants periodically read the content on the study-specific secret Facebook group related to living a healthy lifestyle including avoiding tanning and excessive ultraviolet exposure, managing stress, healthy eating, promoting physically active lifestyles, and promoting a healthy body image, and participate in the group by providing reactions, commenting on the posts, or by sharing study relevant information within the group for 8 weeks. GROUP II: Participants participate in secret Facebook groups that utilize content from the intervention content library related to other health topics of interest (e.g., physical activity, healthy eating, alcohol misuse prevention, stress reduction, sleep) for 8 weeks. After completion of study, patients are followed up at 3, 8, and 18 months post baseline assessment.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Number of indoor or outdoor tanning sessions assessed using surveys Multilevel models (e.g., random coefficient) will be used to test the primary study hypothesis that participants who received the intervention will report less combined indoor and outdoor tanning behavior at a 8-month follow-up compared to those who received the control. If necessary, sensitivity analyses may control for individual-level covariates. At 8 months
Secondary Indoor and outdoor tanning behavior assessed using surveys Multilevel models (e.g., random coefficient) will be used. If necessary, sensitivity analyses may control for individual-level covariates. At 18 months
Secondary Skin burns from indoor and outdoor tanning assessed using surveys Multilevel models (e.g., random coefficient) will be used. If necessary, sensitivity analyses may control for individual-level covariates. At 8 months
Secondary Tanning intentions assessed using surveys Multilevel models (e.g., random coefficient) will be used. If necessary, sensitivity analyses may control for individual-level covariates. At 8 months
