Here Comes the Sun! A Study on Sun Exposure and Associated Risks in the Canadian Population
This study highlights general awareness of sun-protective behaviours but a lack of universal and comprehensive implementation among Canadians. Given the knowledge gaps in younger demographics and darker skin phototypes, targeted educational initiatives are essential to correct prevalent misconceptions about sun exposure and tanned skin. Dermatologists and other health care professionals can play a pivotal role in education and primary prevention strategies for skin cancer and other sun-related comorbidities.
