MELANOMA
Approximately 100,000 people in the United States (US) will be diagnosed with melanoma in 2022, and by 2030, there will be a projected 1.8 million melanoma survivors [Few interventions have targeted sun protective behaviors in melanoma survivors specifically, despite their high risk for future diagnoses. Most behavioral interventions to date have been designed for those without a previous melanoma diagnosis, most often school-aged children or young adults, high-risk occupational groups, or individuals otherwise at elevated risk for melanoma, such as family members or solid-organ transplant recipients (e.g. [Many preventive health interventions have drawn from the Health Belief Model, emphasizing risk perceptions and cues to action for promoting behavior change [The objective of this trial was to test the effectiveness of a wearable device with UVR-sensing technology coupled with a mobile application to promote healthy sun behaviors in melanoma survivors. We hypothesized that participants randomized to the intervention, compared to the control participants, would report greater sun protection and avoidance practices and fewer sunburns following a 12-week intervention.
