Social media as an effective source of information and support among parents other caregivers children with cancer has not been explored. The purpose this cross-sectional study was to describe caregivers’ reasons for using social media, sites used, predictors usage. This sample included 215 (96% parents) receiving cancer-related care at a tertiary children’s hospital in the Intermountain West. Most (74%) reported relation their child’s provide receive about diagnosis or treatment. Our...
Multicomponent skin cancer preventive interventions for adolescents that aim to decrease ultraviolet radiation (UVR) exposure and sunburns are particularly needed given their intentional tanning infrequent use of sun protection. The purpose this study was conduct an early-phase within the Multiphase Optimization Strategy framework experimentally tested four unique intervention components targeting high school students' prevention behaviors. Schools (11 total, N = 1,573 students) were...
Prevention of skin cancer involves decreasing exposure to ultraviolet radiation (UVR) and avoiding sunburn, especially early in life. Individuals living urban versus rural areas, as defined by the Rural Urban Commuting Area (RUCA) code classification, have different risks for cancer, likely due differing patterns outdoor activities preventive behaviors employed when outdoors. However, few studies examined differences between individuals this among both adults children. This study compared...
Ultraviolet radiation (UVR) exposure is the primary modifiable risk factor for melanoma. Wearable UVR sensors provide a means of quantifying objectively and with lower burden than self-report measures used in most research. The purpose this study was to evaluate relationship between detected reported sunburn occurrence. In study, monitoring device worn by 97 parent–child dyads during waking hours 14 days measure instantaneous accumulated exposure. results showed that participants’ total...
Background In the United States, melanoma is fifth most common type of cancer. Reducing UV radiation (UVR) exposure essential for prevention melanoma. The assessment individual-level UVR using wearable technology a promising method to monitor and reduce exposure. However, feasibility acceptability monitoring devices have not been assessed. Objective This study aimed assess commercially available device in adults children. Methods We recruited families (1 parent 1 child) test new, (namely,...
Emerging UV radiation (UVR) monitoring devices may present an opportunity to integrate such technology into skin cancer prevention interventions. However, little is known about the effects of using a wearable UVR monitor on adults' and children's sun protection-related behaviors attitudes (eg, worry perceived risk). Understanding potential role reactivity seasonal will help inform use objective monitors in context research, including intervention studies.The aim this study examine associated...
This study aimed to identify young adult Korean cancer survivors' individual- (psychological distress, stigma, sociodemographic variables, and cancer-related variables) network-level factors (relationship type, social support type) that influence discussion of their experiences. Sixty-eight survivors childhood who were recruited using snowball sampling nominated 245 individuals from networks, including family intimate partners (40%) friends acquaintances (60%), as people with whom they most...
Abstract Objective Melanoma preventive interventions for children with familial risk are critically needed because ultraviolet radiation (UVR) exposure and sunburn occurrence early in life the primary modifiable factors melanoma. The current study examined feasibility acceptability of a new, family‐focused telehealth intervention melanoma their parents. also explored changes child sun protection behaviors, occurrence, objectively measured UVR exposure. Methods This was prospective...
Abstract Background and Aims C3G is characterised by C3 deposition in the glomeruli, caused dysregulation of alternative complement pathway. Contemporary datasets on clinical burden patients with United States (US) are limited. The aim this analysis was to describe demographics characteristics diagnosed US. Methods This a retrospective cohort included US HealthVerity database an EMR linked pharmacy medical claims data, who were between January 1, 2017 March 31, 2022 aged ≥12 years at...

One way to communicate skin cancer risk is through ultraviolet (UV) photographs, which can depict the target person (tailored visual) or someone else (stock visual). There a need for more longitudinal research examining relative impact of tailored UV photographs compared with other message interventions that could increase sun safe behaviors.
