## Brief Summary

A prevention study to improve sun exposure behaviors in children after an educational classroom-based intervention.

## Detailed Description

This study aims to demonstrate that learning about sun exposure using a more classroom-based intervention will motivate classroom students to reduce exposure at a critical life period and will create lifetime learned sun exposure behaviors. Students' sun exposure behaviors will be assessed prior to the educational intervention. The educational intervention consists of three educational sessions and one lab lesson. At the conclusion of the intervention, students' sun exposure behaviors will be assessed again via a post-intervention questionnaire.

## Eligibility

- **Minimum age:** 9 Years
- **Maximum age:** 15 Years
- **Sex:** ALL
- **Healthy Volunteers:** Yes

```
Inclusion Criteria:

* Any children between grades 4 and 8 enrolled in one of the participating schools.

Exclusion Criteria:

* No exclusions, but children or their parents may opt out of participating.
```

## Arms

- **Testing** (EXPERIMENTAL) — This is a preventative study model. All students who choose to participate will receive a pre and post test regarding their sun exposure behaviors and knowledge on sun exposure risk.

## Interventions

- **Knowledge Assessment** (BEHAVIORAL) — Students participating in this study will receive a pre test, instruction regarding sun safety, and a post test.

## Primary Outcomes

- **Sun Exposure Knowledge** _(time frame: From the administration of the questionnaire to the end of the followup questionnaire, up to 3 years)_ — Determining children's knowledge of sun exposure risk through a self-completed questionnaire
- **Sun Exposure Attitudes** _(time frame: From the administration of the questionnaire to the end of the followup questionnaire, up to 3 years)_ — Determining children's attitude toward sun exposure through a self-completed questionnaire
- **Sun Exposure Behavior** _(time frame: From the administration of the questionnaire to the end of the followup questionnaire, up to 3 years)_ — Determining children's behavior toward sun exposure through a self-completed questionnaire

## Secondary Outcomes

- **Mediators of Program Effects: Attitudes** _(time frame: During the followup questionnaire, which is given 3 to 4 weeks post intervention, up to three years)_
- **Mediators of Program Effects: Norms** _(time frame: During the followup questionnaire, which is given 3 to 4 weeks post intervention, up to three years)_
- **Mediators of Program Effects: Personal Agency** _(time frame: During the followup questionnaire, which is given 3 to 4 weeks post intervention, up to three years)_
