Surveys

Surveys

Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.

Summary

This summary is machine-generated.

The Danish Sun Safety Campaign reduced high-risk tanning behaviors, particularly among women and young people. This intervention may lower future skin cancer rates by decreasing ultraviolet radiation exposure.

Area of Science:

Dermatology and Public Health
Epidemiology of Skin Cancer

Background:

Melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancer incidence has risen significantly.
Ultraviolet (UV) radiation exposure from the sun and sunbeds is a primary risk factor.
The Danish Sun Safety Campaign was implemented in 2007 to mitigate UV exposure in adolescents and children.

Purpose of the Study:

To identify characteristics associated with high-risk sun-tanning behavior.
To evaluate the effectiveness of the Danish Sun Safety Campaign in reducing such behaviors.

Main Methods:

A cross-sectional study utilizing annual Internet survey data from 18,685 Danes (aged 15-64) between 2008-2011.
A tanning index, reflecting sunbed use and intentional tanning, was analyzed using linear regression.
Variables included age, gender, skin type, education, income, and survey year.

Main Results:

High-risk tanning was linked to female gender, younger age, lower education, specific skin types (3-4), higher income, smaller households, and urban living.
The tanning index was significantly higher for women, those with skin type 4, and higher income brackets.
High-risk tanning behavior declined over the study period, most notably in women and younger demographics.

Conclusions:

Specific personal and social factors correlate with high-risk sun-tanning.
The Danish Sun Safety Campaign appears effective in decreasing high-risk tanning behaviors, especially in targeted groups.
The campaign shows potential for reducing future incidence of melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancer.
