Trial of Educational Modification Sessions and Sunless Tanner AS A Method of Reducing the Incidence of Tanning Bed Use in Young Adults

Overview

Información sobre este estudio

This phase II four armed factorial randomized clinical trial will look at tanning bed use reduction in the setting of skin cancer directed educational sessions in young adults with frequent tanning bed use. It is hoped that the experimental treatment of education sun safety sessions and free sunless tanner samples will be successful in decreasing the mean frequency of tanning bed use.  In addition to tanning bed use reduction, this trial will also determine tanning bed use abstinence and compare the frequent application of sun screen in addition to other healthy habits among participants.
