Study Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine if using an electronic reminder improves adherence to sunscreen use. The specific study aims are as follows: 1. To determine whether the use of electronic reminder system increases adherence to topical agents. 2. To assess technological feasibility of measuring adherence to topical agents using electronic monitors specially designed for tubes. 3. To assess technological feasibility of providing electronic reminders using cellular phone text-messaging system. 4. To obtain subjects' feedback on the adherence monitoring and reminder system.

Primary Outcome

Participants' adherence was captured in real time using transmitting electronic monitors. At the end of the 6 week trial, the mean number of days the subjects are adherent to using sunscreen were compared.
