Last Updated: 2020-10-22

Results Overview

On the follow-up assessment administered 3 months after the baseline assessment, participants will estimate the number of times they used a tanning bed or booth with tanning lamps in the past 2 months with an open-ended response.

Participant Flow

Qualtrics Sample Providers emailed advertisements for an online screening survey to members of internet panels and posted online advertisements. Recruitment flyers with contact information were posted on campus and in classrooms and on internet ads on social media and Craigslist. Baseline assessments were completed between April and November 2018

One participant removed after assignment because of failed quality check with baseline data.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: At 3 months post-intervention

Measured at post-intervention data collection (3 months post intervention) using single item assessment: "How hard would it be for you to stop using tanning beds/booths?" (Please answer on a scale for 0-10, where 0 is "Not at all hard", 10 is "Extremely hard").
