Couple-focused Intervention for Sun Protection

Completed · Phase 3

Conditions studied: Skin Cancer Prevention

In brief

The goal of this pilot study is to develop and test a couple-based intervention to increase sun protection practices. First, the investigators will develop the intervention website, Sun Safe Partners online. Next, the investigators will gather feedback and preferences for content in a small sample of couples who do not regularly engage in sun protection practices. The investigators will also gather preliminary information regarding the impact of the couple-based intervention.
