Description
Yelena Wu and co-authors share lessons from running a school-based skin cancer prevention trial during the COVID-19 pandemic. Their 2024 paper draws on a cluster-randomized trial in high schools that began in spring 2020, just as United States classrooms closed or went hybrid. Recruiting schools and students suddenly had to happen from a distance.
Enrollment stalled at first, then improved a year later, with rural and urban schools faring alike. The team changed outreach and trial steps to fit remote and hybrid learning. Their account argues that prevention programs can keep running in schools during a crisis. Close community partnerships and flexible methods are the keys they highlight for future efforts.
