Influence of Parent and Child Characteristics on a Parent-Based Intervention to Reduce Unsafe Sun Practices in Children 9 to 12 Years Old

Preventing Unintentional Injuries in School-Aged Children: A Systematic Review

“…Twenty-two studies evaluated the effectiveness of educational interventions and programs including videos, instructions, lectures and sessions in addition to programs embedded in the curriculum in improving knowledge, attitude, and behaviors towards burns injuries among school-aged children ( Supplement 6 ). The majority of education interventions were delivered at school with one intervention complemented by in-home visits and installation of smoke detectors 78 , two interventions were delivered at home 98 , 134 and one delivered at a research laboratory 41 . Seventeen studies showed favorable results in terms of improving burn safety knowledge, behaviors and skills 41 , 44 , 46 , 63 , 71 , 75 , 78 , 80 , 81 , 88 , 90 , 96 , 124 , 134 , 140 , 142 , 146 while five studies found no impact 34 , 66 , 69 , 98 , 119 .…”

Notably, two studies demonstrated the positive effect of a multi-component education intervention on decreasing the frequency of burn injuries in the intervention group 88 , 146 .…”

Retinoids in the treatment of photoageing: A histological study of topical retinoid efficacy in black skin

“…27,48 Papillary dermal FRMs have previously been shown to be particularly susceptible to photoexposure, due in part to their chromophore composition 49 and proximity to the epidermis. 6 Excessive sun exposure, mainly in childhood, and various high-risk activities, such as intentional sunbathing, inadequate sun protection and the use of tanning lamps, 50,51 can all induce skin damage in white Northern European individuals. In contrast, in highly pigmented black African skin, melanin affords the basal keratinocytes with protection against penetrating UVR 52,53 resulting in little impact on keratinocytes or the dermal ECM.…”

Heterogeneity of fibrillin‐rich microfibrils extracted from human skin of diverse ethnicity

“…FRMs have previously been shown to be particularly susceptible to photoexposure, due in part to their close proximity to the epidermis (Watson et al, 1999;Langton et al, 2017). Excessive sun exposure, mainly in childhood, and various high-risk activities, such as intentional sunbathing, inadequate sun protection and the use of tanning lamps (Turrisi et al, 2006;Cercato et al, 2013), could all induce skin damage in white Northern European individuals. In contrast, in highly pigmented black African skin the protection factor afforded by melanin in basal keratinocytes is estimated to be approximately 60-fold (Fajuyigbe et al, 2018).…”
