Project Options - The ABC Method

The ABC is a 3-minute brief, dermatologist delivered intervention for dermatological patients that takes place during a skin examination. During the ABC intervention, dermatologists specifically assess patients' UV risk behaviors, discuss patients' motivation to use UV protection, and explore solutions to patient-reported barriers interfering with effective sunscreen use. Based on our previous research, the ABC intervention does not add additional time to the visit, but rather replaces treatment as usual conversations about sun protection.
