STARS (Sun Protection and Tanning Awareness in Rural Schools)
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Skin cancer prevention educational presentation and activities for Melanoma and Adolescents. Completed, enrolled 38 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Drawing from prior school-based skin cancer prevention programs, we have adapted intervention materials to target rural high schoolers. Program components (including in-class education) will be co-implemented by the research team and participating school staff, with a focus on sustainability beyond the immediate study period. Interviews and surveys following initial implementation will evaluate both the effectiveness of the program.

Timeline
Interventions
An intervention visit, lasting up to 90 minutes, will take place during fall, immediately following completion of a baseline survey. This intervention visit may be divided into 2 days, depending on the length of the class periods at the participating schools. During the intervention visit, participants will receive general education on skin cancer and skin cancer prevention, complete a skin cancer risk self-assessment tool, and create a sun protection action plan for an outdoor activity. One month later, participants will receive a brief (15-minute) post-intervention survey via email and/or text.
