Digital Interventions to Modify Skin Cancer Risk Behaviors in a National Sample of Young Adults: Randomized Controlled Trial

Digital Interventions to Modify Skin Cancer Risk Behaviors in a National Sample of Young Adults: Randomized Controlled Trial

Indoor tanning, UVR & looks, UVR & health, Skin cancer, Skin damage, Sunscreen, Shade, Clothes, Skin exams, and Sunless tanning. Several more general sections (eg, My Stuff and Resources) are also included. Tailoring algorithms were created to direct participants to focus on certain modules based on their responses to a few initial questions (eg, the indoor tanning module was recommended for indoor tanners).

Does Male Skin Care Content on Instagram Neglect Skin Cancer Prevention?

Does Male Skin Care Content on Instagram Neglect Skin Cancer Prevention?

Despite there being scientific evidence that consistent topical sunscreen use aids in the prevention of most skin cancers, the vast majority of men often neglect sunscreen compared to women, statistically [3]. Furthermore, male skin could also be more susceptible to UV damage, photoaging, and greater levels of UV exposure [4]. These patterns may be associated with a lack of tailored messaging from sources of health information [3].

The Impact of WhatsApp as a Health Education Tool in Albinism: Interventional Study

The Impact of WhatsApp as a Health Education Tool in Albinism: Interventional Study

There was a statistically significant improvement in the overall knowledge scores of the participants after the intervention, particularly in sun protection and sunscreen knowledge. In addition, we found a 5.3% rise in the overall knowledge scores following the intervention. The correlation between age, level of education, number of sessions attended, and knowledge levels was analyzed and presented in Multimedia Appendix 4.

Smartwatch Technology in Medicine: A Call for Future Dermatologic Research

Smartwatch Technology in Medicine: A Call for Future Dermatologic Research

We propose that future smartwatches be equipped with the technology to measure UV-A and UV-B rays, time spent in water, and air quality, as well as prompt users to reapply sunscreen at regular intervals. The benefits of these implementations are summarized in Table 2. The benefits of smartwatch technology in skin cancer prevention and intervention are numerous. However, it must be acknowledged that smartwatches can be costly and not accessible to everyone.

Among all participants, 37 (39%) reported not using any sunscreen; the primary cited reasons for not doing so are summarized in Table 4. The use of alternatives options to sunscreen are shown in Table 5 (participants could select more than one option as listed). Participant demographics and history of skin cancer (n=95). Skin cancer knowledge and preventative measures between regions.

The Comparison of Sun Protection Factor 30 Persistence Between Inorganic and Organic Sunscreen in Swimmers: Double-blind Randomized Clinical Trial

The Comparison of Sun Protection Factor 30 Persistence Between Inorganic and Organic Sunscreen in Swimmers: Double-blind Randomized Clinical Trial

For sunburn prevention, protection from the sun is needed and can be achieved in several ways, one of which is by using sunscreen [5,6]. There are two types of sunscreens based on their filters, specifically, organic and inorganic. Organic sunscreen absorbs and prevents UV light from entering the epidermis. Meanwhile, inorganic sunscreen works by reflecting and scattering radiation [5,7,8].

Comparison of Sun Protection Factor (SPF) 30 Persistence Between Inorganic and Organic Sunscreen in Swimmers: Protocol for a Multicenter, Randomized, Noninferiority, Split-Body, Double-Blind Clinical Trial

In order to prevent sunburn, sun protection is needed, which can be achieved in several ways, such as using a sunscreen [4]. There are 2 types of sunscreens used based on the filter component, specifically organic and inorganic sunscreens. Organic sunscreen absorbs and prevents UV light to enter the epidermis; meanwhile, inorganic sunscreen works by reflecting and scattering radiation [6-8].

Sunscreen Posts on Twitter in the United States and Canada, 2019: Content Analysis

One effective prevention method is the use of sunscreen; however, low sunscreen use [1] coupled with the spread of misinformation online can hinder health promotion activities. Health-related social media posts (including sunscreen) may shape risk-related behaviors of users, so it is important to understand the accuracy of such posts [2].
