Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The overarching goal of this work is to pilot-test a song-based instructional video designed to help elementary school (kindergarten) age children independently apply sunscreen effectively (i.e., covers all needed areas), efficiently (i.e., can be accomplished in 2-3 minutes), consistently (i.e., continues to apply sunscreen routinely before recess both during and after the intervention), without impacting classroom function (i.e., no mess). The video is also designed to encourage use of hats and sunglasses. The outcomes of interest include identification of "gaps" in skills that are consistent for this age group (i.e., commonly miss application to the back of neck), areas of learning refinement (i.e., generalization of skills with different outfits on), and flexibility in terms of adapting practice (i.e., can they do it without the video). The investigators hope that this pilot project will pave the way for broader clinical / educational implementation of this intervention within schools.

- Maintenance
- description
- The two classrooms assigned to the Maintenance condition will continue to receive a two- minute window for sunscreen application, but no "I wear sunscreen everyday" song-based video instruction. Change trajectories from Time 3-Time 4 (two-week follow up) will be compared by follow-up assignment condition and will provide preliminary information about dosing and maintenance effects.
