项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Teens and young adults are at high risk for overexposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation, a leading factor in the development of skin cancer. The majority of these individuals continue to protect themselves minimally and tan intentionally, including significant increases in tanning booth use recently. Such care-free behaviors exist despite widespread education/awareness about UV radiation and skin cancer. The purpose of the proposed project is to investigate the efficacy and longevity of two novel approaches to changing skin protection behaviors: 1) UV-detect photos that reveal currently existing skin damage and 2) motivational interviewing (Ml), a person-centered, yet directive counseling style used to enhance internal motivation to change health behaviors. This project will foster the Pi's development into an independent cancer prevention investigator with a productive ongoing program of research. Training will be accomplished via personalized mentoring, coursework, as well as conference/workshop participation. The proposed investigations include a pilot study to refine the methodology; a small formal randomized controlled efficacy trial; and a dismantling study. Conducting the project will enhance the Pi's skills in a variety of research domains including conceptualization/design, recruitment and intervention, as well as analysis and dissemination. These studies will also expand current knowledge and research in several major ways: 1) the use of UV-detect photos will enable highly salient and personalized feedback, 2) Ml will be used in a previously untried health domain (skin cancer prevention), 3) objective skin color changes will be measured using state-of-the-art skin reflectance spectrophotometry, and 4) the proposed studies will test aspects of several major psychological theories (e.g., Transtheoretical Model, Prototype/Willingness Model) to identify moderators/mediators of outcome. Therefore, the studies should provide useful information about process and outcome for skin cancer prevention researchers and clinicians.

描述（由申请人提供）：青少年和年轻人面临过度暴露于紫外线（UV）辐射的高风险，这是皮肤癌发展的主要因素。这些人中的大多数继续有意地保护自己和晒黑，包括最近使用晒黑摊位的大幅增加。尽管对紫外线辐射和皮肤癌的广泛教育/认识，但仍然存在这种无护理行为。拟议项目的目的是调查两种新颖的皮肤保护行为的新方法的功效和寿命：1）紫外线检测照片，这些照片揭示了当前现有的皮肤损害和2）动机访谈（ML），一种以人为本但指导性的辅导风格，用于增强内部动机以改变健康行为。该项目将通过一项有效的研究计划将PI的发展促进独立的癌症预防研究员。培训将通过个性化指导，课程以及会议/研讨会的参与来完成。拟议的研究包括一项试点研究，以完善方法论；一项小型的正式随机对照疗效试验；和一项拆除研究。进行项目将在各种研究领域中提高PI的技能，包括概念化/设计，招聘和干预以及分析和传播。这些研究还将以几种主要方式扩展当前的知识和研究：1）使用紫外线检测照片将使高度显着和个性化的反馈能够使用，2）ML将在先前未经尝试的健康领域（预防皮肤癌预防）中使用，3）将使用最新的皮肤颜色变化，使用最先进的皮肤反射性幽灵射击体和拟议的研究型型模型。原型/意愿模型）以识别结果的主持人/调解人。因此，研究应提供有关皮肤癌预防研究人员和临床医生的过程和结果的有用信息。
