Study Summary
The purpose of this study is to test the effectiveness of a sun protection education program for children of all ethnic and racial backgrounds. Practicing sun protection in childhood can reduce the likelihood of developing skin cancer as an adult. The educational program consists of a read-along book in English and Spanish for the child to read with the parent or caregiver, text message reminders to practice sun protection, and a sun protective swim shirt for the child.
Primary Outcome
The use of sun protection in those receiving the intervention versus the control group will be examined for correlation with melanin index of child's arm at the baseline and 4-6 week follow-up visit. Spectrophotometer measurement is the wavelength of the reflected light measured in nm. It represents the area under the curve for the all wavelengths of light, thus a reading will be expressed as (192 ±30, mean ± SD).
