Description of Resource:

Multicomponent community-wide interventions to prevent skin cancer by increasing UV-protective behaviors are recommended based on sufficient evidence of effectiveness in increasing sunscreen use. Some evidence also indicates benefits in reducing sunburns. Results for effects on other protective behaviors are mixed. Multicomponent community-wide interventions to prevent skin cancer use combinations of strategies across multiple settings within a defined geographic area in an integrated effort to influence UV-protective behaviors. They are usually delivered with a defined theme, name, logo, and set of messages.
