Facial-Aging Mobile Apps for Smoking Prevention in Secondary Schools in Brazil: Appearance-Focused Interventional Study

Facial-Aging Mobile Apps for Smoking Prevention in Secondary Schools in Brazil: Appearance-Focused Interventional Study

The self-concept of appearance, which photoaging interventions harness, is the strongest predictor of self-esteem in adolescents of both genders [27,28]. In the most recent publication by Baudson et al involving a sample of 2950 adolescents from a broad range of secondary schools, it was noted that this is especially true for students from lower educational schools and girls [28].

A Dermatologist's Ammunition in the War Against Smoking: A Photoaging App

A Dermatologist's Ammunition in the War Against Smoking: A Photoaging App

First steps have been taken to disseminate this dermatologic knowledge on irreversible aesthetic damage to the target groups and measure its effectiveness in randomized trials (ie, via the free photoaging app Smokerface, in which a selfie is altered to predict future appearance) in Germany [3,4,14,15] and Brazil [16] with a total of more than 150,000 downloads.

Photoaging Mobile Apps in School-Based Melanoma Prevention: Pilot Study

Photoaging Mobile Apps in School-Based Melanoma Prevention: Pilot Study

Photoaging interventions specifically, in which a self-portrait (ie, a selfie) is altered to predict future appearance, indicated effectiveness in various behavioral change settings, including smoking cessation [26-28] or prevention [29-33], weight loss [34], and in recent years also in UV protection interventions [35-38].

Photoaging Mobile Apps as a Novel Opportunity for Melanoma Prevention: Pilot Study

Photoaging Mobile Apps as a Novel Opportunity for Melanoma Prevention: Pilot Study

Indeed, a recent randomized controlled trial by Burford et al demonstrated the effectiveness of photoaging desktop programs, in which an image is altered to predict future appearance, for behavioral change in young target groups in the field of smoking cessation [19].

A Medical Student–Delivered Smoking Prevention Program, Education Against Tobacco, for Secondary Schools in Brazil: Study Protocol for a Randomized Trial

A Medical Student–Delivered Smoking Prevention Program, Education Against Tobacco, for Secondary Schools in Brazil: Study Protocol for a Randomized Trial

This was done by making the program more interactive and by developing and involving a photoaging app (Smokerface) into our classroom intervention because published research suggests that there is effectiveness of photoaging strategies for our age group [7]. The European Smoking Prevention Framework Approach (ESFA) program developed and tested a smoking prevention program for adolescents aged between 12 and 15 years (students enrolled in the 7th-9th school grades) in 6 European countries [12].

Photoaging Mobile Apps in School-Based Tobacco Prevention: The Mirroring Approach

Photoaging Mobile Apps in School-Based Tobacco Prevention: The Mirroring Approach

In a recent paper, we introduced photoaging mobile apps that alter a person’s self-portrait (ie, a selfie) to predict future appearance [2]. These are considered a novel opportunity for smoking prevention after their effectiveness was first demonstrated by Burford et al [3]. In addition to this, many dermatology publications have called for a novel public health approach in light of new findings on the photoaging effects of smoking [4-8].
