Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to classify participants by actual skin tone and skin tone preference and identify whether an association exists between these skin tone preferences and knowledge of skin care recommendations, attitudes towards healthy skin care, or skin care behaviors.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study seeks to examine if there is a difference between ideal and actual skin tone among minority populations. In addition, we hope to assess whether various demographic factors as well as disparity between ideal and actual skin tone effect skin protective behaviors (i.e. sun screen use, dermatologist appointments, skin self-exams) or skin destructive behaviors (i.e. outdoor tanning, tanning salon use, use of skin lightening products) in minority populations.
