ImportanceQualitative studies serve as a tool for dermatologists and researchers in dermatology to engage with and understand perspectives of populations with different cultures and backgrounds.ObjectiveTo assess (1) current approaches to qualitative dermatologic research and (2) the publication trends of these studies with the aim to inform researchers regarding qualitative research and its significance and applicability in the field of dermatology.Evidence ReviewA scoping review was conducted in which PubMed and CINAHL Plus were searched using dermatology AND qualitative, dermatology, and 7 qualitative methods terms. Studies were selected for inclusion using 3 levels of screening. Level 1 excluded articles published in a language other than English. Level 2 excluded articles of studies involving mixed methods, quantitative methods, systematic review, and meta-analysis. Level 3 excluded articles that were not specific to general dermatology, medical dermatology, pediatric dermatology, dermatologic surgery, dermatopathology, or education and training associated with dermatology. Finally, all duplicates were removed. The searches were conducted from July 23 to 28, 2022. All articles obtained from PubMed and CINAHL Plus searches were recorded in REDCap.FindingsA total of 1398 articles were reviewed, and of these, 249 (17.8%) were qualitative dermatology studies. Common qualitative methods included content analysis (58 [23.3%]) and grounded theory/constant comparison (35 [14.1%]). Individual interviews were the most common data collection method (198 [79.5%]), and patients (174 [69.9%]) were the most common participant type. Patient experience (137 [55.0%]) was the most common investigated topic. Overall, 131 qualitative studies (52.6%) in dermatology were published in dermatology journals, and 120 qualitative studies (48.2%) in dermatology were published between 2020 and 2022.Conclusions and RelevanceQualitative research in dermatology is becoming more prevalent. There is value in qualitative research, and we encourage researchers in dermatology to incorporate qualitative methods in their studies.

“…Two pilot studies carried out in voluntarily participating schools in Reunion Island show encouraging results regarding the feasibility and effectiveness of solar protection programmes aimed at pupils. [15][16][17] However, methodological limitations weaken the validity and extrapolation of the results. To improve both evaluation and generalisability of the results of local public health interventions, cluster randomised controlled trial design can be used.…”

IntroductionReunion Island, a French overseas department, is located in the southern hemisphere, close to the Capricorn tropic. This island has a multicultural and multiethnic population of 860 000 inhabitants, a quarter of whom are at high risk of developing skin cancer due to intense ultraviolet radiation. Melanoma is responsible for the majority of skin cancer deaths. The early prevention of melanoma is based on sun protection in childhood, but French regulations are not adapted to the environmental conditions of this tropical region.The main objective of our study is to evaluate the effectiveness of three sun protection programs conducted in Reunionese primary schools through a pupil knowledge questionnaire.Methods and analysisPRESOLRE is an interventional, open-label, cluster-randomised controlled trial, in four parallel arms, that is being conducted throughout 2022–2023 on Reunion Island. The trial design assumes an escalation interventional effect using: first, a control arm without proposed intervention (arm 1); second, an arm whose classes are encouraged to use the validated educational programme ‘Living With the Sun’ (LWS) (arm 2); third, an arm whose classes are encouraged to use both ‘LWS’ combined with ‘Mission Soleil Réunion’s sun protection awareness programme (arm 3); fourth, an arm benefiting from an intervention similar to arm 3, combined with the distribution of hats, sunglasses and sun creams (arm 4). In all, 1780 pupils from 18 classes of 20 pupils, on average, will be included. Randomisation applies to the classes of pupils (so defined as clusters). The primary outcome is based on the proportion of correct answers to the knowledge questions after the awareness programme, compared between the four arms using a linear mixed model with random intercept.Ethics and disseminationThe study obtained ethics approval in 2022 (ID: 2022-A00350-43). Results will be published in peer-reviewed journals.Trial registration numberNCT05367180.

Introduction: Reunion Island, a French overseas department, is located in the southern hemisphere, close to the Capricorn tropic in the same range of latitudes as Australia. This island has a multi-cultural and multi-ethnicpopulation of 860,000 inhabitants, a quarter of whom are at high risk of developing skin cancer due to intense ultraviolet radiation. Melanoma is responsible for the majority of skin cancer deaths. The early prevention of melanoma is based on sun protection in childhood, but Reunion Island complies with the regulations of mainland France, which are not adapted to the environmental conditions of this tropical region. Objective: The main objective of our study is to evaluate the effectiveness of three sun protection programs conducted in Reunionese primary schools through a pupil knowledge questionnaire. Trial design: PRESOLRE is an interventional, open-label, cluster-randomised controlled trial, in 4 parallel arms, that is being conducted throughout 2022-2023 on Reunion Island. The trial design assumes an escalation interventional effect using: first, a control arm without proposed intervention (arm 1); second, an arm whose classes of pupils are encouraged to use the validated educational program ‘Living with the sun’ (arm 2); third, an arm whose classes of pupils are encouraged to use both ‘Living with the sun’ combined with MiSolRé's sun protection awareness program (arm 3); fourth, an arm whose classes of pupils are encouraged to use ‘Living with the sun’ combined with MiSolRé's sun protection awareness program, and who receive a distribution of hats, sunglasses and sun creams (arm 4). In all, 1,780 pupils from eighty classes of 20 pupils, on average, will be included. Randomisation applies to the classes of pupils (so defined as clusters). The analysis of the primary outcome is based on the proportion of correct answers to the knowledge questions after the awareness program, compared between the 4 arms using a linear mixed model with random intercept. Implications for public health: The public health perspective of this interventional research protocol is to scale up the best sun protection programs for both the entire Reunion Island territory and the other tropical French overseas departments. Trial registration number: ID: NCT05367180
