Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
Hypothesis: More than 80% of the participants (n=40) will complete the intervention at three month (intervention completion) and the six month follow-up (retention rate as feasibility). More than 70% of the participants will report high overall study satisfaction (acceptability) with the intervention and study. This pre-pilot will inform intervention and procedural refinements for the pilot. Hypothesis: Participants who receive the intervention (n=57) will report more skin cancer-related preventive behaviors (e.g., mean of summed score of sun protection behaviors such as use of sunscreen, etc.) at three month and six month follow-up compared to those in the control condition (n=57, who will receive general information about physical activity and nutrition).

- Control group: physical activity and nutrition information
- description
- Participants will complete a baseline survey first; and then they will be randomly assigned into either the intervention group or the control group. After the random allocation participants will receive instructions on how to use WhatsApp and then the intervention. The participants will receive WhatsApp messages about skin cancer for three months with optimal frequencies determined by prior aims and complete a post-intervention survey which contains the same questions in the pre-survey. The participants will be contacted at six months after the baseline survey to complete another survey similar to the post-intervention survey.
