NCT ID: NCT03344796 Completed - Sun Protection Clinical Trials

UV Exposure Assessed With Wearable Sensor and Sun Protection

Start date: June 30, 2018
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The goal is to prevent ultraviolet light (UV) overexposure by providing consumers with relevant, easy-to-access, specifically actionable information. This research proposal will develop a UV protection system consisting of an automated real-time counseling framework and a personal dosimeter that overcomes barriers to consumer adoption. These new, wearable sensors take the form of small (< 1 cm), thin (<0.1 mm), lightweight (<0.1 g), battery-free "stickers" that are fundamentally differentiated from other wearable electronics in their modes of use, cost structures and accuracy.

NCT ID: NCT03033654 Completed - Sun Protection Clinical Trials

Two Consecutive Sunscreen Applications Optimize Sun Protection

Start date: February 2015
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The investigators aim to investigate how much two consecutive applications of sunscreen before sun exposure can increase the quantities of sunscreen applied and decrease the skin area left without sunscreen compared to a single application. Volunteers wearing swimwear applied sunscreen in a laboratory environment twice and had pictures taken in black light before and after. As sunscreens absorb black light the darkness of the skin increased with increasing amounts of sunscreen applied. The investigators conducted a standard curve establishing a link between picture darkness and applied sunscreen quantity. Participants were asked to apply sunscreen the way they would normally do but two consecutive times. No other advice was given. The level of protection was determined by picture analysis as measurements of darkness of selected skin sites as well as the percentages of skin area left without sunscreen in different body regions and in total.

NCT ID: NCT02952235 Completed - Sun Protection Clinical Trials

Evaluation of Sunscreens Under Actual Use Conditions

Start date: March 31, 2016
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Use of two high SPF sunscreens under actual use conditions.

NCT ID: NCT02376517 Completed - Children Clinical Trials

Helping All Children be Safe Outdoors With Sun Protection

Start date: May 2015
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to test the effectiveness of a sun protection education program for children of all ethnic and racial backgrounds. Practicing sun protection in childhood can reduce the likelihood of developing skin cancer as an adult. The educational program consists of a read-along book in English and Spanish for the child to read with the parent or caregiver, text message reminders to practice sun protection, and a sun protective swim shirt for the child.

NCT ID: NCT02177006 Completed - Skin Cancer Clinical Trials

Helping Children be Safe Outdoors With Sun Protection

Start date: June 2014
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Childhood exposure to high levels of sunlight is a strong determinant of melanoma risk. Pediatric clinicians can provide important sun protection counseling. In 2003, the United States Preventive Services Task Force determined that clinician counseling has an effect on use of sunscreen for children but not for other sun protection measures such as protective clothing, or reducing sun exposure. Regular sunscreen use prevents melanoma development in adults as well as nevi in children, but reliance on sunscreen as the only form of sun protection is problematic. This novel research seeks to develop a sun protection program that is feasible for pediatric clinicians to deliver with patient-centered messages and systems to support program implementation in the clinical offices. The sun protection messages will enable behavioral change by the stakeholders (caregivers and children) that will reduce painful sunburns in the children and eventually reduce the incidence of melanoma. Testing the feasibility of delivering the intervention in a pediatric practice will enhance the sustainability of the intervention, and lead the way to dissemination of good practice. This proposal seeks to develop and test an intervention that seeks to improve sun protection of young children. The intervention includes two phases: Phase 1: From June to August 2014, a voucher to obtain a swim shirt for sun protection provided by the Pediatric Sun Protection Foundation will be affixed to the anticipatory guidance sheet provided by the practice to caregivers of children 2-6 years of age. Phase 2: Analysis of online redemption of vouchers in comparison with the self-reported surveys We hypothesize that redemption of the vouchers will be associated with the perception of the child having sun sensitive skin.

NCT ID: NCT01001975 Completed - Sun Protection Clinical Trials

Determination of Sun Protection in Sunscreen Formulas (Study SR09-15)(P08236)(COMPLETED)
