Sunscreen Costs in Association With Sun Protective Behaviors
These findings suggest that the cost of applying sunscreen at the recommended amounts varies significantly depending on unit price and the concurrent use of other sun protective strategies. Decreasing the potential cost by encouraging the use of other sun protective strategies and lower-priced sunscreens could facilitate compliance and reduction in the risk of developing skin cancers.
