Computer-based Skin Aging Simulation for Skin Cancer Prevention

Computer-based Skin Aging Simulation for Skin Cancer Prevention: A Pilot Study

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.
