A new study funded by the National Cancer Institute finds that how high school students perceive the costs of sun protection and the rewards of tanning play a significant role in whether they practice sun-safe behaviors. Even after adjusting for demographics and skin cancer knowledge, higher perceived costs of sun protection and greater perceived rewards of tanning were associated with lower engagement in UVR-protective behaviors. The authors suggest that school-based skin cancer prevention programs should move beyond risk messaging to incorporate appearance-focused and tailored strategies, such as UV photography or photoaging feedback, to reduce motivational barriers and promote lasting behavior change.
