Arms and Interventions

| Participant Group/Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
| --- | --- |
| Experimental: Indoor tanning intervention<br>Web-based intervention modules to discourage tanning. | Behavioral: Indoor tanning intervention<br>* 6 Web-based modules that focus on preventing skin cancer through sun protection and indoor tanning reduction using the Theory of Planned Behavior and Prospect Theory<br>|
| Active Comparator: standard of care control<br>General information regarding UV protection measures through an online Qualtrics interface. Content will mirror information provided in brochures typically available in a dermatology office or through skin cancer prevention websites. | Behavioral: Standard of care control<br>* One website with content similar to those available in dermatology offices on skin cancer prevention<br>|
