Clinical Trial Summary

This pilot clinical trial studies how well Self Monitoring And Readiness Texting (SMART) project works in sun exposure and protection behaviors. Measuring how behavior tracking and individually tailored messages affect risk behaviors in patients with skin cancer may help doctors plan the best prevention plan and decrease national melanoma incidence and mortality.


Clinical Trial Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To test the effects of a behavior tracking and individually-tailored daily text message intervention on sun protection and exposure behaviors and to see if these techniques will be most effective in conjunction or separately.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To examine mediators in the effects of the intervention on safe sun behaviors, based on Fishbein?s Integrative Model.

OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 4 study arms.

ARM I (SELF-MONITORING): Patients complete tanning and sun protection usage entries daily for 14 days.

ARM II (TEXT MESSAGES): Patients receive individualized text messages based on baseline assessment of tanning motives (appearance, enjoyment, social) daily for 14 days.

ARM III (COMBINED GROUP): Patients complete tanning and sun protection usage entries and also receive individualized text messages daily for 14 days.

ARM IV (CONTROL GROUP): Patients complete study assessments.

After completion of study, patients are followed up at 2 weeks. ;
