Preventing Skin Cancer Through Behavior Change: Implications for Interventions - 22/06/18
Resumen |
Sun exposure is the only major causative factor for skin cancer for which prevention is feasible. Both individual and community-based interventions have been effective in changing sun exposure knowledge and attitudes but generally have not been effective in changing behaviors.

This model holds promise for developing a rational public health approach to skin cancer prevention based on sound behavioral science.
