“…The National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey reported that ''there were an estimated 18.30 billion patient visits from January 1, 1989 to December 26, 2010'' (Akamine, Gustafson, Davis, Levender, & Feldman, 2014, p. 52). However, it is worrisome to note that less than 1% of these visits included mention of the use of sun protection, even among patients with a previous history of skin cancer (Akamine et al, 2014). Thus, educating nurse practitioners (NPs) to confidently discuss sun protection as a part of routinely recommended safety and control guidelines is necessary (Dadlani & Orlow, 2008).…”

Background: The surgeon general states that skin cancer is a key public health problem. Skin cancer is highly preventable; however, it is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in the United States. Purpose: The purpose of this scholarly project was to increase the skin cancer knowledge and lesion identification among primary care nurse practitioners. Methods: A descriptive survey using a convenience sample of current members of the Nebraska Nurse Practitioners Association was administered to determine baseline knowledge of skin cancer. This was followed by a 15-minute online educational program. A posttest was then administered. The data were collected using SurveyMonkey.com, and a pairwise comparison was completed. The program was available online for 9 weeks with one reminder at 4 weeks. This was approved by Creighton University Institutional Review Board as an exempt study. Results: Approximately 350 surveys were distributed to members of Nebraska Nurse Practitioners via e-mail with 14 respondent; three completed only the pretest and one completed only the posttest. There were 10 who completed the entire program. Findings: Ten of ten respondents improved their overall scores from pretest to posttest. A paired t test was used, and on average, subjects improved their scores by 25% (p G .0001). The evaluation indicated that 70% of respondents were likely to change their practice because of participating in this program. Conclusions: This study revealed that nurse practitioners can increase their skin cancer knowledge and skin lesion identification after a brief online educational program. A larger sample would be needed to be able to generalize these findings.

“…20,21 The lack of effect of counseling may contribute to 0.01% of pediatrician visits, including sun protection counseling. 22 Promisingly, other randomized controlled clinical trials with distribution of sun protection products (eg, sunscreen and clothing) increased parental knowledge and practice of sun protection behaviors. 23-25 However, none of these studies evaluated whether children receiving the intervention experienced less pigment change.…”

“…Ultraviolet (UV) radiation accounts for up to 90% of these cancers and is the only known modifiable risk factor associated with skin cancers [108][109][110]. While the importance of sun-protection is well recognized, excessive sunbathing and the overuse of tanning beds remains in our society.…”

Various substances of abuse are known to cause specific cutaneous manifestations. In this review, we highlight the cutaneous manifestations associated with the use of cocaine, heroin, marijuana, methamphetamine, alcohol, and anabolic steroids. Cutaneous signs of tanning addiction are also discussed, as tanning bed use is a particularly relevant and growing problem in Dermatology. We also provide examples of general signs of drug abuse, including stigmata of injection drug use, vascular complications, and infectious complications. This review aims to make clinicians more aware of these signs in order to better recognize substance abuse disorders and guide effective treatment.
