Summary

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.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

"I wear sunscreen everyday" song-based video

All four classes (arms) will be shown (sitting on carpet, not participating) a 2-3 minute song-based video titled "I wear sunscreen everyday" in which they observe elementary age children applying sunscreen in a systematic fashion. Following the viewing, classes will be administered this video guided, song- based intervention while their teacher documents their independent participation using our classroom map data collection sheet.
