About this study

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

Read the detailed 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.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Sun Exposure Knowledge

    Determining children's knowledge of sun exposure risk through a self-completed questionnaire

    Measured: From the administration of the questionnaire to the end of the followup questionnaire, up to 3 years

  2. Sun Exposure Attitudes

    Determining children's attitude toward sun exposure through a self-completed questionnaire

    Measured: From the administration of the questionnaire to the end of the followup questionnaire, up to 3 years

  3. Sun Exposure Behavior

    Determining children's behavior toward sun exposure through a self-completed questionnaire

    Measured: From the administration of the questionnaire to the end of the followup questionnaire, up to 3 years

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Mediators of Program Effects: Attitudes

    Assessing children's attitude toward sun exposure through a self-completed questionnaire

    Measured: During the followup questionnaire, which is given 3 to 4 weeks post intervention, up to three years

  2. Mediators of Program Effects: Norms

    Determining children's understanding of social norms regarding tanning and sun protection through a self-completed questionnaire

    Measured: During the followup questionnaire, which is given 3 to 4 weeks post intervention, up to three years

  3. Mediators of Program Effects: Personal Agency

    Determining children's understanding of behavioral control regarding sun protection through a self-completed questionnaire

    Measured: During the followup questionnaire, which is given 3 to 4 weeks post intervention, up to three years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Knowledge Assessment in people with Melanoma, run by University of Colorado, Denver at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Jan 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Sun Exposure Knowledge (time frame: From the administration of the questionnaire to the end of the followup questionnaire, up to 3 years). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 4 Jan 2022.
