Study Summary
The purpose of the proposed project is to investigate the efficacy and longevity of two novel approaches to changing skin protection behaviors: 1) UV-detect photos that reveal currently existing skin damage and 2) motivational interviewing (MI), a person-centered, yet directive counseling style used to enhance internal motivation to change health behaviors. The proposed investigations include a pilot study to refine the methodology; a small formal randomized controlled efficacy trial; and a dismantling study. These studies will also expand current knowledge and research in several major ways: 1) the use of UV-detect photos will enable highly salient and personalized feedback, 2) MI will be used in a previously untried health domain (skin cancer prevention), 3) objective skin color changes will be measured using state-of-the-art skin reflectance spectrophotometry, and 4) the proposed studies will test aspects of several major psychological theories (e.g., Transtheoretical Model, Prototype/Willingness Model) to identify moderators/mediators of outcome.
Primary Outcome
The Sun Stage of Change (SOC) Scale has 4 items asking participants whether they have been protecting their skin for the past year (maintenance), if they protect their skin now (action), whether they intend to protect their skin in the next 30 days (preparation), whether they intend to protect their skin in the next year (contemplation), or none of the above (pre-contemplation).
Interventions
- BEHAVIORAL Motivational Interviewing
- BEHAVIORAL Education
- DEVICE UV-Detect Photos
