“…Self-reports of SSE and sun protection habits were used and we were not able to confirm TCEs in about a quarter of the reported procedures due to problems obtaining confirmation. The acceptance rate among eligible family members was 50% which is lower than other studies (Geller et al, 2008). The majority of participants had medical insurance which may have biased the post-intervention uptake of TCE.…”

“…The risk for getting skin cancer is higher for people who are light skinned, red haired, have several large moles and freckles, are exposed to sun for a long time, and have a history of sunburn in their childhood 20,21,35,36 . The risk for developing melanoma in later periods of life increases 3.5 times for a person with a history of sunburn that causes blisters, even once in childhood, compared to a person who has never had sunburn.…”

four in the United States of America and one in Germany. Programs conducted in the articles were formed based on Piaget's cognitive development theory, Health Belief Model, and Social Learning Theory. In the programs, behaviors of children were observed at kindergartens and information and attitudes of kindergarten administrators, sun protection applications, facilities/obstacles/policies of school, sun protection behaviors of children from the perspective of parents, sun protection behaviors of teachers and parents for children and psychosocial variables were evaluated. Conclusion: The intervention was observed to be efficient in four out of these five researches included in the study. Due to the importance of sun exposure in childhood, the early development of sun protection awareness is extremely important. It is thought that this systematic review will prepare a basis for future studies by drawing attention to effective models in sun protection education for children.

“…In many cases, fundamental knowledge must be directly acquired in the field about the reasons underlying the failure of effective strategies to be implemented (Hajjaj et al , 2010). For example, barriers to the adoption of sun protection policies in schools have been identified (Geller et al , 2008). …”

To translate scientific discovery into improved health, we must study health care itself: ie, how people access health care, costs or other barriers to the provision of good care, and what happens to patients as a result of this care. Health services research (HSR) is the interdisciplinary field that studies health care and its effects. This paper reviews different types of HSR and highlights some dermatologic examples that have resulted in improved health care systems or have helped us understand access to existing systems. The paper also addresses some of the political and systematic challenges for health services research overall, and for individual investigators and program leaders.
