This pilot study is to assess the knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding skin cancer prevention in young adults and to determine the impact of artificial intelligence-based simulation of facial skin aging on their attitudes regarding skin cancer prevention.
In young adulthood an increasing UV-exposure often starts because of the belief that tanning increases attractiveness]. Raising awareness and educating students and adults regarding practices for skin cancer prevention are critical since skin cancer is increasing rapidly worldwide. Skin cancer preventive interventions for adolescents are needed to improve their motivation for sun safety behavior. This pilot study is to assess the knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding skin cancer prevention in young adults and to determine the impact of artificial intelligence-based simulation of facial skin aging on their attitudes regarding skin cancer prevention.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| artificial intelligence-based skin aging simulation | Other | Photographs of the volunteers' facial skin will be taken in the Department of Dermatology at baseline using a modern skin analysis photo system (VISIA®, Canfield Scientific, Parsippany, NJ, USA) and afterwards a simulation of the participants' facial skin aging will be performed with the VISIA® photo analysis System. | ||
| electronic questionnaire 1 | Other | Electronic questionnaire about current sun-related knowledge and protective behaviours via link with smartphone before and after the skin aging simulation. | ||
| electronic questionnaire 2 | Other | Participants report their perception of the interventions and their motivation for improved sun protection by completing an electronic questionnaire after the skin aging simulation. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Change in visual analogue scale (VAS) score regarding importance of UV- protection | Change in VAS score regarding importance of UV- protection (0 = not important; 10 = extremly important) | before and after the skin aging simulation (each scoring session will take about 15-20 minutes) |
| Change in VAS score regarding rating of personal exposure to UV radiation | Change in VAS score regarding rating of personal exposure to UV radiation (0 = no exposure; 10 = very high exposure) | before and after the skin aging simulation (each scoring session will take about 15-20 minutes) |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Questionnaire asking for reduction of UV- exposure (yes/no) | Questionnaire asking for reduction of UV- exposure (yes/no) | after the skin aging simulation (each scoring session will take about 15-20 minutes) |
| Questionnaire asking for intensification of UV protection measures (yes/ no) |
