The Mobile Sunscreen Project aims to increase sunscreen application among university students using mobile technologies. It will place daily sticky note reminders in participants' bathrooms and send morning emails prompting them to check the notes. Participants will reply to confirm applying sunscreen. Evening emails will remind those who did not respond. The results were mixed, with some participants remembering but others not. Further studies could explore using random participants and long-term sunscreen habits.
