Behavioral Intervention in Reducing Indoor Tanning

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
This randomized clinical trial tests the efficacy of a behavioral intervention works in reducing indoor tanning. Artificial ultraviolet indoor tanning increases the chance of developing skin cancers. Behavioral interventions use techniques to help participants change the way they react to environmental triggers that may cause a negative reaction.

Detailed Description
-----------------
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: To develop and evaluate an online tailored indoor tanning (IT) intervention based on findings from phase 1. OUTLINE: INTERVENTION: Participants are randomized to 1 of 2 groups. GROUP I: Participants receive intervention, weekly text messages about IT reduction, and personalized booster intervention. Participants then receive text messages twice weekly for 4 weeks. GROUP II: Participants are placed on wait-list and may receive full intervention after follow-up. After completion of study, patients are followed up at 3 months.

What is the study measuring?
-----------------
Primary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Number of Prior 2-Month Indoor Tanning Sessions Reported by Participants on a Follow-up Survey | On the follow-up assessment administered 3 months after the baseline assessment, participants will estimate the number of times they used a tanning bed or booth with tanning lamps in the past 2 months with an open-ended response. | Up to 3 months | 

Secondary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Perceived Difficulty (Self-efficacy) in Quitting Tanning | Measured at post-intervention data collection (3 months post intervention) using single item assessment: How hard would it be for you to stop using tanning beds/booths? (Please answer on a scale for 0-10, where 0 is Not at all hard, 10 is Extremely hard). | At 3 months post-intervention | 
| Sunburns | On the follow-up assessment administered 3 months after the baseline assessment, participants will estimate the number of times they had a sunburn in the past 2 months with an open-ended response. | Up to 3 months | 
| Intentions to Use Indoor Tanning | For tanning intentions, participants indicated how likely they were to use an indoor tanning bed in the next year on a 6-point response scale anchored with 1 = Extremely unlikely and 6 = Extremely likely | Up to 3 months | 
| Number of Participants Expressing Positive Interest in Changing Tanning | Interest in changing tanning was assessed using a single item: Would you like to reduce or quit indoor tanning if you could do so easily? Responses coded as 0 = no and 1 = yes | 3 months |
