Sun protection behaviors among African Americans.
Hall HI, Rogers JD.
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Atlanta, Georgia 30341, USA.
The anatomic distribution of some skin cancers suggests that sun exposure may be an etiologic factor
for skin cancer among African Americans. Yet little is known about sun protection behaviors among
African Americans. We analyzed data from the 1992 National Health Interview Survey (N = 1,583) to
determine the prevalence of sun protection behaviors and sun sensitivity. About 6% of African
Americans reported being extremely sensitive to the sun and severe sunburning, and 9% reported mild
burns. Overall, 53% of respondents (47% of men and 57% of women) reported that they were very likely
to wear protective clothing, seek shade, or use sunscreen lotion. Women were more likely than men to
report seeking shade and using sunscreen. Sun protection behaviors were more frequently reported by
those who sunburn more easily and were positively associated with age. Use of sunscreen was
positively associated with income and education. Education about sun protection and early detection
may help reduce the morbidity and mortality of skin cancer among African Americans.
