Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This project will pilot a Just In Time Adaptive Intervention (JITAI) approach to providing feedback on child UVR exposure to children and their parents, with the ultimate goal of improving child use of sun protection strategies (e.g., use of sunscreen, protective clothing) and decreasing UVR exposure and sunburn occurrence. This study will utilize a SmartPhone app. If participants do not have a smartphone, they will be provided with one to use the app.
