Protocol Title: Solar Cell: A Mobile UV Manager for Smart Phones Phase II
Investigator: David Buller, PhD
You are being asked to be in a research study. The overall goal of the study is to design a smart phone application, Solar Cell, which uses smart phone technology to aid users in protecting their skin from damaging ultraviolet radiation (UV) in sunlight, a primary cause of skin cancer.
Your participation will involve taking an online survey. After you complete the online survey, you will be randomized to either the experimental or control condition. If you assigned to the experimental condition, you will be required to download and use the Solar Cell mobile app to help you protect you skin from the sun. If you are assigned to the control condition, you will not use the Solar Cell mobile app. Three months later, we will ask you to complete another online survey. The online surveys will take approximately 15 - 20 minutes to complete. Approximately 440 people will complete this online trial. Participants will receive $5 for completion of the pretest and $5 for completion of the posttest.
