US Public Interest in Merkel Cell Carcinoma Following Jimmy Buffett’s Death and Implications for Continued Health Advocacy: Infodemiology Study of Google Trends

Google Trends was used to quantify search interest in “skin cancer,” “Merkel cell carcinoma,” and “health effects of sunlight exposure” in all US regions for a 60-day period encompassing Buffett’s death. Daily relative search interest (RSI) data were extracted from Google Trends from August 2 through September 30, 2023. RSI is a value from 0 to 100 based on the highest volume criteria within the search.

Testing Wearable UV Sensors to Improve Sun Protection in Young Adults at an Outdoor Festival: Field Study

Testing Wearable UV Sensors to Improve Sun Protection in Young Adults at an Outdoor Festival: Field Study

Sunlight or ultraviolet radiation (UVR) is the main risk factor for skin cancer. Childhood and adolescence are critical periods during which exposure to UVR contributes to skin cancer in later life [5]. The amount of sun exposure received during this period is high, with half of our total lifetime sun exposure received within the first 20 years [6].

A Mobile Technology Intervention With Ultraviolet Radiation Dosimeters and Smartphone Apps for Skin Cancer Prevention in Young Adults: Randomized Controlled Trial

A Mobile Technology Intervention With Ultraviolet Radiation Dosimeters and Smartphone Apps for Skin Cancer Prevention in Young Adults: Randomized Controlled Trial

Ultraviolet radiation (UVR) or sunlight exposure is the main environmental risk factor for melanoma and keratinocyte skin cancers (including basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma). It is predicted that in the United States, new cases of melanoma will rise from around 70,000 in 2007-2011 to 116,000 in 2026-2031 [1]. Melanoma is the most common cancer in those aged 15-39 years in Australia [2].
