Trial Outcomes & Findings for Using Physical Tracking to Predict Sunburn (NCT NCT04977700)

NCT ID: NCT04977700

Last Updated: 2023-11-13

Results Overview

What proportion of 8 sun protection practices did participants do on reported days of exercise. Participants responded to 8 potential sun protection practices and provided the number of days they did each practice within the timeframe provided (3 months at baseline; 4 weeks at posttest). Participants also provided number of days of outdoor exercises within timeframe. Proportion was calculated by dividing the frequency of each sun protection practice by the number of days of outdoor exercise within the timeframe. Mean score of all sun protection practices per day of outdoor exercise is reported. Range = 0-1, where a higher number indicates more sun safety practices performed. A proportion was used to account for different timeframes at baseline and posttest.

Participant Flow

n=123 participants were recruited and screened for participation in formative research prior to the pilot study detailed, including focus groups, usability testing, and collection of activity data. None of those participants were randomized. n=41 participants participated in the randomized pilot as described in this entry.

Measure
Intervention Group
Participants will be enrolled on a rolling basis and participate in SS for 4 months in the intervention condition. After pretesting, participants will receive sun protection messages from SS through emails/comments based on algorithm results from their profile and activity data. All participants will complete posttest survey 4 months from randomization. Intervention Group: Test the developed algorithm that delivers location-based, tailored sun safety advice to Strava users through Strava comments for acceptability, ways of interacting with it, and barriers/willingness to allowing access.
Control Group
A small control group will be included to see if a no-treatment control condition is acceptable to users and estimate follow-up rates for planning a randomized trial. Participants will be enrolled on a rolling basis and will complete a pretest at randomization. All participants will complete a posttest survey 4 months from randomization.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: baseline and four-weeks post intervention

What proportion of 8 sun protection practices did participants do on reported days of exercise. Participants responded to 8 potential sun protection practices and provided the number of days they did each practice within the timeframe provided (3 months at baseline; 4 weeks at posttest). Participants also provided number of days of outdoor exercises within timeframe. Proportion was calculated by dividing the frequency of each sun protection practice by the number of days of outdoor exercise within the timeframe. Mean score of all sun protection practices per day of outdoor exercise is reported. Range = 0-1, where a higher number indicates more sun safety practices performed. A proportion was used to account for different timeframes at baseline and posttest.

Population: Control group participants were not given this item.

Participants in intervention only were asked about how many messages they read. Scale ranges from 0 - 3. 0 = none of the messages; 1 = some of the messages; 2 = most of the messages; 3 = all of the messages. Higher score indicates higher message recall.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: baseline and four-weeks post intervention

Participants were asked: how confident are you that you can practice sun safety next time that you exercise. 1 = not confident; 2 = a little confident; 3 = somewhat confident; 4 = very confident. Higher scores indicates more self-efficacy for sun safety.
