“… 3 In the present study, SPF 30 was more frequently chosen by the students. Batista et al 7 described that 95.2% of preschoolers parents used SPF above 15. This seems to indicate that people know that a SPF 15 or lower sunscreen is less effective.…”

BackgroundThe greatest sun exposure occurs until adolescence and this is the only factor involved in photocarcinogenesis subject to modification with photoprotection.ObjectiveThe objective of this study was to evaluate the habits and knowledge of adolescents regarding photoprotection.MethodCross-sectional study that included 512 students from primary and high school. Data were collected by questionnaires with questions about habits and knowledge on sun protection. For data analysis, Pearson's Chi-square test and Yates test were applied, with 5% level of significance.ResultsWe evaluated 512 students, with a mean age of 14 years old. The teenagers agreed that ultraviolet rays cause skin cancer and aging (96% and 70%, respectively). Knowledge about the occurrence of burns even on cloudy days was recorded in 68% of cases, as well as the need for photoprotection for sports in 72%. The source of information about sun protection were by parents in 55%. In 70% was observed previous occurrence of sunburn, the daily use of sunscreens was found in 15% and 67% used only at the beach. of sunscreens with SPF higher than 30 was reported by 70% of students and 57% reported going to the beach between 10h and 16h. In 68% of cases it was registered insufficient sun protection, attributed, in 57% of the time to forgetfulness.Study limitationsThe sample refers to two schools of Curitiba (PR), Brazil.ConclusionTeenagers know the risks of sun exposure, but they do not adopt the practices for adequate protection.

“…Few studies have looked at sun protection in children with dark skin. In general, these studies have shown that parents and/or caregivers tend not to encourage children to adopt sun safe behaviours including the use of sun protection equipment because of a perception that their child’s dark skin provides adequate natural protection from UVR [ 11 , 12 ]. In Africa, no retrievable studies have considered mothers’ perceptions of the feasibility and acceptability of using sun protection equipment among small children with darkly pigmented skin.…”

BackgroundPhotodamage is partially mitigated by darker skin pigmentation, but immune suppression, photoaging and cataracts occur among individuals with all skin types.MethodsTo assess practices and acceptability to Black African mothers of sun protection equipment for their children living in a rural area, participants were recruited at the time of their child’s 18-month vaccinations. Mothers completed a baseline questionnaire on usual sun behaviours and sun protection practices. They were then provided with sun protection equipment and advice. A follow-up questionnaire was administered two weeks later.ResultsMothers reported that during the week prior to the baseline questionnaire, children spent on average less than 1 hour of time outdoors (most often spent in the shade). Most mothers (97%) liked the sun protection equipment. However, many (78 of 86) reported that their child did not like any of the sun protection equipment and two-thirds stated that the sun protection equipment was not easy to use.ConclusionsAmong Black Africans in rural northern South Africa, we found a mismatch between parental preferences and child acceptance for using sun protection when outdoors. A better understanding of the health risks of incidental excess sun exposure and potential benefits of sun protection is required among Black Africans.

Subject to cumulative exposure over their lives, are more propense to influence conferred by the aesthetic appreciation of tanning and are in the most prone age group of unprotected exposure (7)(8)(9)(10) .…”
