Clinical Trial Summary

A prevention study to improve sun exposure behaviors in children after an educational classroom-based intervention.

Description:

This study aims to demonstrate that learning about sun exposure using a more classroom-based intervention will motivate classroom students to reduce exposure at a critical life period and will create lifetime learned sun exposure behaviors. Students' sun exposure behaviors will be assessed prior to the educational intervention. The educational intervention consists of three educational sessions and one lab lesson. At the conclusion of the intervention, students' sun exposure behaviors will be assessed again via a post-intervention questionnaire.
