Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
Drawing from prior school-based skin cancer prevention programs, we have adapted intervention materials to target rural high schoolers. Program components (including in-class education) will be co-implemented by the research team and participating school staff, with a focus on sustainability beyond the immediate study period. Interviews and surveys following initial implementation will evaluate both the effectiveness of the program.

Arms (1)
- type
- EXPERIMENTAL
- label
- Skin cancer prevention education
- description
- Program components of a rural-adapted skin cancer prevention intervention (i.e., education, action planning exercise, risk assessment activity) will be co-implemented by the research team and participating school staff during a single- or double-session, in-class visit lasting up to 90 minutes. Students will be asked to complete surveys at baseline and one month post-intervention.

Primary outcomes (2)
- measure
- Sun Protection Index Scores - Weekday
- timeFrame
- Baseline and One-month time points, up to one month
- description
- Surveys (a baseline and a 1 month follow-up) will assess changes in sun protection, measured as an average of the frequency of sun protection items (on a 1-5 scale). Lower scores indicate less sun protection, and higher scores indicate more sun protection. The outcome variable is value at one month minus value at baseline.
