TL;DR: Traits associated with an increased risk of developing melanoma include multiple typical moles, atypical mole, freckling, history of severe sunburn, ease of burning, inability to tan, and light hair with blue eyes.

TL;DR: The combination of expert review followed by cognitive interviewing yielded standardized core survey items with good clarity and applicability for measuring sun exposure and sun protection behaviors across a broad range of populations, appropriate for studies tracking morbidity and/or mortality and evaluating prevention program effects.

TL;DR: With this study, high-risk population subsets performing specific adverse behavior were identified and can be targeted with messages that promote attitudinal and behavioral change.

TL;DR: Dosing once daily for 7 days per week resulted in the highest clearance rate, with 25 of 35 and 16 of 21 patients showing clearance of their tumor in the 6- and 12-week studies, respectively.

TL;DR: Messages to teens that emphasize the short-term consequence of painful sunburns because of inadequate protection during outdoor occupational and non-water-related recreational exposure would increase the relevance of the message and may enable behavioral change.
