What it does not show
This is a protocol, not a completed study, so it cannot show whether the planned intervention changes sun-protective behavior. The planned feasibility sample size is not specified, so the later study may be too small to test effectiveness. The target group is adolescent boys in one city in Iran, so results, if produced, may not apply to other groups or settings. The authors note that coordinating parents for focus groups may not be possible, which could affect the qualitative data collection.

Funding came from Tehran University of Medical Sciences. The authors declared no conflicts of interest.
The easy way to misread this
Do not read this as evidence that a social marketing intervention improves sun protection. It is a protocol with no completed intervention and no outcome data.
