Excessive exposure to ultraviolet radiation during adolescence can have a lasting effect on long-term skin cancer risk. Skin cancer prevention interventions for adolescents have been less commonly investigated than those for children and adults. The study objectives were to develop and evaluate the feasibility of a secondary school-based appearance focused intervention, including the development and testing of protocols and instruments, as a resource module that could be efficiently integrated into the secondary school science curriculum. This longitudinal study was conducted with a convenience sample of 38 13-14 year-old students attending one New Zealand (NZ) urban secondary school. The recruitment rate was excellent with only one student not participating because of parental concern. In terms of the implementation practicality, the intervention, as it stands, was extremely resource intensive, involving four research staff to deliver. This will not work if delivered in a classroom setting by a single teacher. However, the intervention was well received by students, so it shows promise if a less resource intensive version could be produced. The acceptability of the intervention with the students was good with the majority (61%) having no suggestions for improvements. Suggested improvements were minor and could be easily addressed.
青春期过度暴露于紫外线辐射会对长期患皮肤癌的风险产生持久影响。与针对儿童和成人的皮肤癌预防干预措施相比，针对青少年的相关研究较少。本研究的目的是开发并评估一项以中学为基础、聚焦外貌的干预措施的可行性，包括开发和测试方案及工具，将其作为一个可有效融入中学科学课程的资源模块。这项纵向研究以新西兰一所城市中学的38名13 - 14岁学生为便利样本进行。招募率很高，只有一名学生因家长担忧未参与。就实施的实用性而言，目前的干预措施资源需求极大，需要四名研究人员来实施。如果由一名教师在课堂环境中实施，这是行不通的。然而，该干预措施受到了学生的好评，因此，如果能开发出资源需求较少的版本，它显示出了前景。学生对该干预措施的接受度良好，大多数（61%）学生没有改进建议。所提出的改进建议很轻微，很容易解决。
