Prevention: Lessons from a sunburnt country

Trends in sun‐protection behaviour in Australian adults 2007–2012

“…Despite Australia's reputation as melanoma centre of the world, it has been put forward as a textbook example for successful population‐wide skin cancer prevention efforts and a guiding model for other high‐prevalence countries . Mass media sun‐protection campaigns have been run in Australia since the early 1980s, and school‐based educational programmes and policies have been in place since the mid‐1990s .…”

“…Mass media sun‐protection campaigns have been run in Australia since the early 1980s, and school‐based educational programmes and policies have been in place since the mid‐1990s . Consistent and continued communication of sun‐related public‐health messages through health professionals, schools, employers, and cancer councils, and the promotion of easily implementable protection measures such as seeking shade, have resulted in sun protection becoming an integral part of daily life . Unlike the strong emphasis on sunscreen use in sun‐protection messages disseminated in other countries, Australian media campaigns have long promoted a combination of different sun‐protection measures, as reflected in the message ‘slip, slop, slap’, which refers to the use of protective clothing, sunscreen and headwear …”

Multi-Level Models of Internalizing Disorders and Translational Developmental Science: Seeking Etiological Insights that can Inform Early Intervention Strategies

“…children with a history of sunburn show increased risk for developing skin cancer as an adult) and etiological understanding of the gene by environment interactions (e.g. fair skinned individuals living in environments with high degree of UV exposure from sunlight) has led to high impact prevention strategies: aggressive use of sunscreen and protective clothing, particularly in high risk (fair skin) children living in high-risk environments (Corbyn, 2014; Kuhlmei et. al.…”

Confinement of Reactive Oxygen Species in an Artificial‐Enzyme‐Based Hollow Structure To Eliminate Adverse Effects of Photocatalysis on UV Filters

“…Melanoma and non-melanoma (basal and squamous cell carcinoma) skin cancers have been identified as the most common types of cancer and are considered the most frequent and fastest growing malignant disease. [1,2] UV radiationc ontained in sunlight is ac omplete carcinogen because it can damage DNA, suppress antitumor immunity,a nd enhancem etastasis of skin cancers. [3,4] One simple and effective wayt oa void the above detrimental effects is the use UV-protective sunscreens.…”
