This phase III trial compares a personalized skin cancer prevention program, sun-safe habits intervention and education (SHINE), to standard skin cancer education in preventing skin cancer in adolescents. Information learned from this study may add to researchers' understanding of interventions that can be used to prevent skin cancer among adolescents by increasing their sun protection use and decreasing intentional tanning. The purpose of the trial is to provide skin cancer prevention education in Utah schools.
Additional locations may be listed on ClinicalTrials.gov for NCT04341064.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Provide skin cancer prevention education to high school students.
II. Implement a cluster randomized trial (n = 30 schools, 10,250 students) to determine the efficacy of SHINE in
conjointly increasing the co-primary outcomes of adolescent sun protection use and decreasing intentional tanning.
III. Drawing on the Extended Parallel Process Model, identify the mechanisms by which SHINE impacts adolescent sun protection use and intentional tanning using mediation analyses.
IV. Examine socio-demographic moderators of intervention effects (e.g., participant sex) in order to guide future tailoring of SHINE to maximize efficacy for potentially underserved subgroups.
OUTLINE: Schools are randomized to 1 of 2 arms. Participants are assigned to 1 of 2 arms based on school randomization.
ARM I: Participants participate in 2 in-class or online sessions over 40 minutes each, an in-class or online booster session over 40 minutes, and receive information on skin cancer and skin cancer prevention, a printout photo of their face in visible light and a photo of their face in ultraviolet (UV) light, and a personalized skin cancer prevention packet that also includes templates for creating a personalized action plan for using sun protection. Participants' parents and teachers also receive skin cancer educational materials that complement the content given to participants.
ARM II: Participants participate in 2 in-class or online sessions over 40 minutes each, an in-class or online booster session over 40 minutes, and receive information on skin cancer and skin cancer prevention available through the American Academy of Dermatology and Centers for Disease Control (CDC).
After completion of study, participants are followed up at 1 year post-baseline, 1 month, and 1 year post-intervention.
