Summary

To assess the efficacy of the two SunSmart intervention videos to change sun protection attitudes and behaviors

Detailed description

SunSmart is a novel video intervention designed to prevent secondary skin cancer in young adult cancer survivors by increasing their adherence to recommended sun protection. This study will assess two versions of the SunSmart video intervention. These are: 1) The INFORMATION VIDEO providing basic information about UV risks, including secondary skin cancer and the benefits of sun protection (SP), as well as specific SP recommendations and steps to integrate SP as part of routine self-care for the healthy cancer survivor; and 2) THE INFORMATION + APPEARANCE VIDEO which will include the full information video, along with an additional embedded video segment emphasizing negative appearance consequences of UV exposure. Primary aim of the study is to assess the impact of the video intervention on sun protection intentions and behavior in young adult cancer survivors compared to a control intervention. Secondary aims are to describe the impact of the appearance information when included in the SunSmart intervention, to investigate the extent to which the intervention changes sun protection through hypothesized mediating variables, and to describe the consistency of sleep behaviors over time in cancer survivors.
