Area of Science:

  • Dermatology and Public Health
  • Epidemiology of Skin Cancer

Context:

  • Nonmelanoma skin cancer is the most common cancer globally, with sun exposure as a primary risk factor.
  • Childhood and adolescence represent critical periods for cumulative sun exposure and development of sun-related behaviors.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of an educational intervention aimed at modifying sun-related behaviors in school-aged children.
  • To assess changes in knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors concerning sun exposure and skin cancer prophylaxis.

Summary:

  • A quasi-experimental study involving 628 adolescents (11-12 years) in Granada utilized pre- and post-intervention questionnaires.
  • The intervention group demonstrated statistically significant improvements in knowledge (ORs ranging from 1.4 to 2.89) and healthy sun exposure behaviors (OR = 4.2) compared to the control group.
