- description
- Facebook group, Health Chat, which provides information via posts within the private group about a wide variety of health topics (e.g. tobacco use, body image) with 25% of all of the content being about indoor tanning. Indoor tanning-related content was developed by the investigators and a social media marketing expert using information from published literature on IT risk factors, evidence-based intervention content from published trials targeting IT reduction, public health campaigns from major non-profit organizations (e.g., CDC, Skin Cancer Foundation, etc.), and investigator-developed video-recorded interviews of local mothers and professionals about the risks of indoor tanning, experiences with skin cancer, and mother-daughter communication role modeling.

- description
- Facebook group, Health Chat, which provides information via posts within the private group about a wide variety of health topics (e.g. tobacco use, body image), but does not include any content about indoor tanning. The designated number of posts (25%) assigned to the indoor tanning content in the intervention group will be assigned to prescription drug use in the control arm. In order to keep number and frequency of posts standardized between the two groups, prescription drug use was selected to replace the indoor tanning content for the control arm.
