“…Participants' knowledge of important skin health facts including indoor and outdoor UV light exposure, skin cancer, sun screen, risks of sun tanning was tested with a quiz comprising of nine true-false questions retrieved and adapted from literature [15,16]. Correct responses to these nine items were summed up for generating the covariate "knowledge score".…”

“…Knowledge about skin cancer and its risk factors was measured using 11 items adapted from Buller and colleagues (Buller et al, 2006), Irwin and colleagues (Irwin, Mauriello, Hemminger, Pappert, & Kimball, 2007), and one investigator-created item (“Even if a sunscreen says it’s “water-resistant,” you still need to re-apply after swimming.”). Response options for each item were true, false, and not sure or strongly disagree to strongly agree, with each item scored as correct or not.…”

Objective The study’s purpose was to investigate moderator, implementation, and mediator variables related to the efficacy of UV4.me, an internet intervention that decreased ultraviolet radiation (UV) exposure and increased skin protection behaviors among young adults. Methods Nine-hundred sixty-five 18-25 year olds at risk for skin cancer were recruited nationally online. Participants were randomized to an experimental website (UV4.me), a control website, or assessment only. Participant characteristics (moderators), engagement with and perceptions of interventions (implementation measures), and exposure and protection attitudinal variables (mediators) were assessed. Linear regression and mediation analyses were conducted. Results Intervention effects on skin protection were greater for participants with a family history of skin cancer (p = 0.01). Intervention effects on UV exposure were greater among recent indoor tanners (p = 0.04). Improvements in skin protection (but not UV exposure) were associated with perceiving the interventions as satisfying or helpful (ps< .01). The experimental group had better outcomes if they completed more modules (ps< .01) or set more behavioral goals (ps< .01). Knowledge and exposure decisional balance mediated intervention effects for UV exposure (ps < 0.05), and protection decisional balance, self-efficacy, and intentions mediated intervention effects for protection (ps < 0.05). Conclusions The experimental intervention was more efficacious for certain high risk groups. The more individuals liked and engaged with the interventions (e.g., by setting goals), the better their outcomes. Mediation results inform theory about change mechanisms and differed by behavioral outcome.

“…The survey was part of an educational intervention which included a pretest, a 30-minute lesson on sun protection, and a posttest [5]. The survey asked students to evaluate statements about sun protection and their perception of tanning on appearance.…”

“…You can only tan after being sunburned and females (52% vs. 47%) and a wide range of ages [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19], ethnicities (24% Hispanic), and races (10% black, 40% white, 12% Asian) [5].…”
