Indigenous Skin Wellness Study: Exploring Skin Cancer Awareness and Understanding Among Native Americans: A Cross-Section Study.
Native American populations face a unique and underserved challenge in skin cancer prevention and education. By identifying key gaps in UV protection practices and awareness through this study, we aim to design culturally tailored interventions that promote skin wellness and reduce the risk of skin cancer in these communities. The findings will serve as a foundation for larger-scale public health efforts, bridging the gap in knowledge and fostering improved skin health outcomes for Native American populations.
