Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The objective of this study is to test a novel classroom-based intervention to motivate youth to limit their sun exposure. The intervention will make the process of learning about sun exposure more person-centered using individual dosimetry readings and feedback that will lead to individual plans for reducing sun exposure.
